Uneven neck relief on the High and Low E

[JackDaniels]

Im not sure if this have been answered before but i did try searching

Anyway here goes, on my guitar, the relief on the 7th fret (when the 1st and 16th fret are depressed) differs on the 1st and last string The high E being lower(close to zero relief) and the low E have like double the relief.

So here comes the No.1 noob question asked in all guitar forum:

Is the neck warped??

It could be.
<edit> it could also be fret uneveness.

Hold the guitar up and look down the neck from the bridge end towards the nut. On a straight neck, you should see all the frets in parallel as they go off into the distance. A warped neck will usually show up fairly obviously here (of course depending on the amount of warp).

Warp is not easily corrected at home - seek out a good tech for second opinion on first the diagnosis, and second, the rectification.

also- some warps can be cured, some cant'

hmm same fret uneven relief, it cant be neck warp, can it? if warp, both high e and low e should have increased relief. if it's warped in this case, i could only imagine the guitar having 2 truss rods with uneven tension.

oh what do i know. just my opinion. hehe.

sounds more like a neck twist than a neck warp.
