Just found out my Ashbory's neck is bowed back. THAT's why the low F and Bb buzz. (It's my first Ashbory, and I got it used on eBay, & for a long time thought I just didn't know how to play it.) The repairman says there's no way to fix it--there's nothing to adjust, and his only idea was to sand down the neck, which would be a total mess. I don't know if the neck was warped when it came in the mail, 8 months ago, or whether 8 months in dry, high Utah have affected the wood.
Has anyone out there had this problem? Even better, has anyone had this problem and found a solution? In summer 2008, somebody wrote in this forum that he was he going to try to bend the neck back into true, but that thread stopped there--don't know how it turned out.
I also think my E string produces less sound than the others--don't know if that's related to the neck problem. I had to phone all over Salt Lake before I finally found a repairman who had ever worked on an Ashbory--any suggestions for finding good repair help?
Thanks!
