    Red face i hope this one went to one of you guys..

    sheez.. i even had a countdown timer running on this one, and bid as close to the end as possible, but i still got beaten!
    it was a very nice price for an item i could use. was planning to move my neck from another oldie over to this one... the refinish done on the one i got is awful and this seemed like a very nice alternative for doing something with it

    trussrod adjustment:

    less relief / flatter = lower action
    more relief / bow = higher action
    do NOT use cheap tools to adjust with. they might break and scrape up your pressious!
    also, if you are lucky enough to have a 100th namm sr4: the truss works the other way around on that one!

    Great example of what an aftermarket graphite neck does to resale value.

    Well, technically it's half a '78. Doesn't suprise me.

    Someone once sent me a '79 I was intersted in. When I popped the neck to check it, it was obvious it wore a graphite neck before because the neck pocket had to be widened to fit (ie: modded body). So I sent it back.

    Mr, why not just refinish the refinish?
