Well I just brought my guitar in to get a new setup on my floyd rose because I hadnt played it for a while and I wanted to put some thicker guage strings one. Keep in mind my guitar is like 6 years oldish... Well the long and the short of it is... I learned that it has a "large hump in the neck"... 76 dollars later after a wonderful setup done by some joe... every string buzzing like a bee hive...

Basically what I am asking is... does anyone know whether my guitar is fixable? I talked to the guy at the store and he suggested a place that is good with necks but said that they are difficult to fix. Has anyone else ran into this problem? or heard of one being fixed?

Its a shame... Fernandes Revolver Elite... 1 sustained humbucker in the bridge, demarzio in the neck... Floyd Rose Trem... Metallic Blue.... talk about devistation.

Almost anythjing can be fixed. The issue is how much will it cost. That really depend on how bad the hump is. A Small hump migh be corrected by a truss rod adjustment. Sometime you can compensate with a fret dressing. Sometimes you can press the neck flat. You can replace the neck. With bolt on necks it's easy. With set in it's less easy.

If the neck is back bowed, loosen the truss rod only one eighth of a turn. Sight down the neck to verify that it has become straight. If not, re-adjust again, by loosening the truss rod by another one eighth of a turn. Wait a few days before you decide if it should be re-adjusted, let the neck settle in. (If you over adjust, correct it immediately) Remember when you make these adjustments, the instrument will have to be retuned to pitch each time. Your floyd will have to be re-adjusted for level and re-intonated.

What they said.

yeah man, i dont think its bowed... its got a hump in the neck... I was told they were two different scenarios however i could be wrong...

the guy who did my setup said that he asjusted the truss rod so that there would be the least buzzing possible... however... there is still a considerable amount... to the point where it makes me sad to play it... literally.

maybe you need a 2nd opinion, someone else to take a look at it

although it would be good for playing the flight of the bumble bee

Thats why I am posting on this board... for second, third, fourth, even fifth opinions.

Whats been posted so far has been helpful and leaves me fairly optimistic that something can be done...

Regardless... I planning on buying a new guitar probably at the end of summer time... maybe closer to christmas...
