Unless the action goes stupidly low, the "warp" doesnt cause any problems. (if i set it too low, it starts buzzing on the second fret of the D and G strings)
Is this worth fixing? also, is it something that I can attempt to fix myself.
Ive done some searching and found that fixing major warps involves fretboard and truss rod removal, but since this is only a very slight warp I guessed that there might be a simpler way. |
If it's OK unless it's set up "stupidly" low, It doesn't sound like there is anything to fix. Unless of course you want it set up stupidly low.
If the warp is as slight as you describe, niether the truss rod nor the fingerboard have to be removed.
The frets must be removed and the surface of the fingerboard planed. Not a small job but fairly routine.
Sometimes the warp can be straightened up by simply filing the fret tops to a flat level plane.
