I picked up my old blue Luke I today after not playing it for a couple of weeks. The first thing I noticed was the high e string was slipping like hell, and I didn't remember having that problem in the past.

After examining for a while I did notice that I could bend and twist the neck like crazy. I checked the screws and they were tightened and not loose in anyway, yet I could easly bend the neck both left/right and up/down. I used the strings as a guide and I could bend the neck to a good position for the high e, and also to a position that was impossible to play without slipping. The "default" positon seemed to be more bad than good regarding the high e string slipping.

I'm abit confused, because I can't remember the guitar being this before. Now it's just so easy to bend it out of tune and get a crackling sound from the neck pocket. It's like I don't even have to try, I can get it to do it with just normal playing and usig the whammy bar. What can I do?

I'd give customer service a buzz. The neck is a key part of a guitar and I wouldn't want to mess it up.
