Vintera neck bow and Labella DTF FL.

[Captain Ray]

I put a set of Labella DTF FL on my vintera precision and set it up with 12/1000". Every two days I have to take the neck off and tighten the truss rod because it returns to 14/1000". Have done this three times, last go round I really cranked it down, but haven't bottomed out. I don't have that problem on my other precisions with labellas, and kinda bummed because I like the sound of the vintera better than my labellas and Fralin stock winds. Are the TI jazz flats much lower tension, or can someone recommend something that will be easier on this neck? If not, I'll change the pickup and put rounds back on it, but didn't care for the stock rounds with the vintera pickup. Thanks in advance.

I will suggest you start with setup the neck relief .010, measure on 7th fret. Later set the your favorite action.
Play it and check the neck relief and action everyday.

If both reading are raise day after day,even more than a week . it might be neck issue.

I play 760FL on my previous china Squier CV60P , neck are stable even high tension on 760FL.

If the neck has problem, even load with Ti flat still no much help.

In my experience Vintera necks are very reactive to humidity and kind of soft. Mine had 50-65-85-100 Fender flats and was stable then I recently put Rotosound 45-105 rounds and the setup is all out of whack. High action and too much relief. It's Partly my fault because I took all the strings off at once.

TIs are lower tension but the 70 A string is way too floppy for me.

LaBella DTF strings are higher tension than most other strings including other flats. If you like the sound of these strings go with the LaBela LTF strings. Same sound much lower tension so no truss rod adjusting issues.
