How common is it for an older model to have a bad neck? Beyond what the tunning bar can adjust......Hopefully it was just the local yocal trying to sound smart :confused:

Not very for the USA made. Not so sure about some of the overseas models.

Ya know, I'm a pretty old model, and I have a bad neck, among other things...

Yeah, but my present wife is the second owner, so the warranty is now void.

I've not seen a bad neck in USA models, I had one in a Celebrity.

I thought I could add a collar under the truss rod nut and gain adjustment, but the neck never moved. I sold it in a package deal as a superb $100 beach guitar.

Yeah, even the "peghead transplants" have been straight & true. Including some import models, e.g., CC074 bass, CC57 "Phoenix", CC212, among others. A testament to basic engineering, I would surmise. And, I don't recall having to do much tweaking of the trussrods, either!
