time before neck warps

[bf0502tr]

hi guys anyone know how long i can keep a guitar unstrung before the neck starts to warp? i know the best is restring on the spot but something happened and now my acoustic is sitting ard not strung

this is interesting..

u are talking about leaving the guitar without any strings on right?
from what i know.. once guitar neck warps, u can easily readjust it with the truss rode.

from what I know is that the neck does warp a little bit when thicker strings is put on and it does warp when there aren't strings on. BUT the neck can warp to the point it is unusable and might just be thrown away

If ur going to leave it unstrung for a prolong amount of time, why don't u just relieve the truss rod tension then?

cos its in camp and i've got no tools, so i've got a feeling its gonna be strung only tmr. needa know if the neck will warp badly by then...
