How often do you guys adjust your guitar's neck(s)?

[Tim O'Sullivan]

I used to adjust all my guitars on average twice a year, but in the last few years I dont think I have had any reason to adjust them. Maybe they are all getting stable with old age!

my theory is that rosewood fingerboards act like a brace & causes the maple neck to be more stationary & stable. i also think the rosewood increases the midrange the guitar produces.

Interesting, my 20th is the most adjusted too. When I think about it, it's pretty often (every other week maybe). Each time I get it where I want it, will wail for hours thinking how perfect it is, then I'll come back to it the next week or two and it'll have some buzz. It has a rosewood board.

My most stable (adjusted once when I switched to 10s, tweaked after it settled, and never touched again) are my all rosewood ASS and my PBB and HB ASSs(maple board).

But my 20th is rosewood, and two of my three best are maple. Oh well.

You know, It's funny, I was going to start a thread on a broadly similar topic as a result of the experience I've had with my new AL.
When I first got it 2 weeks ago the setup and playability were quite frankly impeccable, and beyond reproach.
Then 2 or 3 nights ago I picked it up off of the guitar rack and the high E was buzzing like a cheap sitar when played open, but fine the moment that it was fretted.
I was about to start mucking about with the nut or the bridge saddle when it occurred to me that excepting supernatural intervention neither of these factors had been changed.
So I loosened of the truss rod a 1/4 turn, and badda boom badda bing, normal service was resumed.
The weird thing is that my 97 Axis that was set next to it in the rack hadn't budged a nanometer.
Mind you, to be fair in the past month the AL has gone from Santa Monica Boulevard, to the hold of a 747, to rainy cold South London.....

So with you guys having to adjust your 20th's and AL's more than other guitars, does this mean that maple is more susceptible to changes?

Once! When I buy a new guitar and do my "own" set-up.

I was told that the EBMM unfinished neck will always move more than conventionally finished necks....mine gets a 1/8th of a turn twice a year....no biggie.
Won't the action also be a factor? If it's set low, you will notice it more, surely?

Frequently? Infrequently?

I have my JP6 since little bit more than 1 year and last week I have adjusted the neck for the first time (a tad more bow). And only because for the frist time I have installed a different strings (same gauges, but different brand).
