Neck Adjustment

Hi Jon,
I just got a new Albert Lee Limited edition. I have had it a week and I have to adjust the neck several times within 3-4 hours of daily playing to maintain the correct pitch. It goes way sharp (on a peterson strobostomp tuner) so I dial in some relief as needed. I live in NC and the guitar came from California. Is this normal for your guitars to have a period of fluctuation for a climate change?
Would the neck seal be a good idea?
This is my second Albert Lee and the other one which I have had 3 weeks still goes sharp.
Please advise.
thank-you,
alvis

Is your guitar a trem or hardtail?

No problem at all. I will joyfully do the work, but I was trying to stress the fact that most times it just doesn't need to be done. I am leaving friday for Jazzfest in New Orleans and won't be back to work until Wed. so be patient.

Thanks Jon, I do understand. Not a problem - I'll be patient. I've read SOOOOO many great things about your work, it will be worth it. (Although I must admit that I've gotten so attached to it that it is difficult to be without!)

Have fun at Jazzfest!
Thanks again,
MikeVt

Albert Lee Model Going Sharp

The Limited Edition that I have had for a week is a hardtail.
The other is a tremelo.
