Is there a problem with my EB neck??

[Tobin31]

Noticed this last night. Not sure if this is a problem. Notive how at the end of the neck it seems to be higher. As it goes towards the headstock it`s almost tilted downward more?


Is this a problem???? Normal??? Help!!!

I can't see anything in this picture because there's a mirror image from the body.
If you think there might be something wrong with it, take it to a tech to check on it.

IT looks just like the neck on this one. I just found this pic so I am thinking this is normal for these guitars?

Well, if it doesn't hurt playability, if the neck is straight and the intonation of the guitar is ok and it's string buzz free, I don't think it's a problem.

I know some Gibsons have downward tilted necks.

A tech once offered to shape the neck of my axis so that the action could be lower but I said no way!.

I would say that as long as you enjoy the playability of your guitar why do you ask yourself so many questions

If you are comfortable with it and enjoy playing it who cares if it looks weird or diffrenet from other guitar ?

Yes it's normal. The Axis models have shims between the neck pocket and the neck. Both of mine look the same.

I agree with Scott - all of my Axes have the same neck to body angle.
