greetings from down under
I have a VDY jem ( wizard 1 neck) and use 9 gauge strings
I find if the temperature alters more than 5 degrees centigrade (41 degrees fareneheit) that the neck goes out and i have to re-adjust the truss rod.
I know that as this is a wizard 1 neck ( and one of the thinner wizard 1 necks) that the neck twisting / moving is probably the physics of having a very thin piece of wood under a lot of pressure.
I am very interested to hear from any other VDY owners/ afficiondos who have experiencied this or choudl shed any light on the subject.
I love my VDY - and can always adjust the neck and bridge back to happiness in about 2 minutes - so I live with this
It doesnt happen a lot - but iam just wonderign whehter this is a known entity of this model or if i have a dodgy neck ?
All views appreciated
I bought it 4 years ago from a guy for peanuts - i think he thought the neck was phuct
last year steve toured here ( oz) with billy sheehan
met them both at a meet and greet after the show ( only a bunch of yahoo competition winners whirr supposed to be at the meet and greet - but me and a partner in crime snuck in thru the fire escape
steve kindly signed the VDY twice - he and billy were really nice grounded dudes - no star****er BS
billy said "i feel so priveleged that i have friends all over the world and i can travel and meet them and play music "
and he meant it - not just a dime store assmokeblower
k - any input on my VDY neck saga would be mighty appreciated
thankx
