hi guys i have a hobner's acoustic rose wood guitar... didn't touch it for 2 months and forgot to loosen up the strings.. bcuz of which it has bended from the neck.. what m i supposed to do now..??? its difficult to play as strings are far from the fret board now...
NO. Its not because of that. The neck has bent because of temperature and humidity changes. If the wood is not seasoned properly, temperature and humidity changes affect the neck adversely. The only thing to do is to adjust the truss rod. Another easier thing would be get the action lowered. This will enable you to bring the strings closer to frets. However, some strings MAY start buzzing at certain frets. The only way out of it is to adjust truss rod.
^But Guitar's like hobners and Givsons have a really short truss rod. Its not even halfway down the neck. What in that case?
ya it does have a truss rod.. i got it done straight but don't know what happened it bend again.. the person who did it told that no matter what we do it's the wood's characteristic so it will bend again... so i'll have to get a new one... i dont wanna loose this guitar...
That short rod in givson/hobner is just to fool people I guess. Its of no use. Check this: https://indianguitartabs.com/showthread.php?t=15970
