Well obviously the advise that i was given other than take it to a pro is not working. Why, because something is wrong with the neck. I've done my own setups for years and understand how a neck should react to truss adjustments. Not sure what a pro would charge but i won the neck on Ebay for$60, one of those Korean made Squier necks from the late 80s. I'm not sure it makes sense to pay a pro to fix a $60 neck.

Pro's and other knowledgeable folks who post regularly on this board have given opinions based on what little has been provided. The responses indicate that those opinions have been ignored including requests for hard data. Now that advice is being panned as inadequate.

Garbage in, garbage out.

If the advice was tested (which it does not appear to be the case) and has not worked, the only course of action is to take it to someone who works on guitars full time-a professional tech. They can render an opinion for a small charge. Then you can decide on a course of action that makes sense to you.

I have tried everything that was suggested, I thought my responses indicated that but i guess they did not.

. I have been tightening the truss to get some bow in the neck and nothing is happening.

I don't mean to throw you under the bus, but this statement alone is enough to make folks think that you MAY lack the knowledge required. Or maybe you just misspoke.
At any rate, the neck may indeed be defective. I'd suggest leaving the rod completely loose with strings tuned to pitch for a few days. Probably won't do anything, but it might.

No worries, there is no bus to be thrown under. I indeed worded it wrong. Nevertheless a few turns of a trussrod either way will not damage a neck. I beat you to your suggestion of leaving the strings tuned for a few days to see what happens. As we both thought nothing has happened but it was worth a try.
