should I worry?
guys, should I worry about this? or this is common?
the
neck alignment
on the bass side
n the edge of the
neck
is higher than on the neck join.
the neck alignment on the treble side : on the edge and neck join are even.
is this common ? or something wrong with my neck?

Re: should I worry?
I am not sure if that is common or not, but I do know that my tech always sets my bass side higher then the treble side, so maybe its compensated.

Re: should I worry?
Thanks Guys,
Almost all my bolt-on guitars have similar issue.
Only 2 or3 that have perfect neck alignment on the bass side.
So I shouldn't worry about it, rite?

Re: should I worry?
That misalignment is compensated by bridge adjustment which is probably a little higher on the bass side in relation to the body.

Re: should I worry?
It wouldn't effect playability. Maybe someone that obsesses with the way it looks would screw around with shimming it, but I wouldn't.

Re: should I worry?
yeah, all this time I never put any attention on this.
you are right moonlight, I became a little obsessed with the way it looks since I compare it with a neckthru.
I guess I'm gonna leave it alone.

Re: should I worry?
I know how it is, I have my battles with perfectionism too. I was looking a few of my RGs and I think when you look at a neck that is shimmed (as I think AlaskaBat was referring to,or maybe he just sneezed) the bass side appears to be more uneven than the treble side because there is a longer part of the body to compare it to.
