IMO, the neck needs to be slightly curved for best playability.
Most new guitars come like that.

mm. any idea how to adjust the intonation for a tune-o-matic bridge? :lol: I'll try it, but won't touch the truss rod. LoL. maybe i'll get someone with experience to do it for me.

I think there are screws by the side of tune-o-matic? If there are, then those are used for intonation, adjust the screws to move the saddles forward and backword.

ohh haha intresting. okay i'll try. thanks alot for the help.

Truss rod adjustment is really not really recommended as a DIY job. It seems easy to do, but it's also quite easy to screw it up. Leave it to professionals like empty71.

I like the arrow straight

buzzing is very common in straight-as-an-arrow necks.

Yea, low action buzz. But so long as the amp doesn't pick up the buzz i feel it's fine. Some people may find it irritating though.

yesterday I'd try to wipe my rustry string with cloth and a little bit of Autosol. It works to remove the rust :lol: will it be advisable?

 

[pooo]

Aw man, then you're playing on strings that smell like autosol? 8O

Get some new strings on friend, when strings rust, their time is up.

My goodness, spare a thought for the fretboard man!!!!! What if some of that stuff gets on the fretboard?!?!?!

you CAN use autosol for cleaning the frets, just use masking tape to tape up the area you are polishing.

But definitely not encouraged to do so.
