Fender Strat neck mystery
Neck mystery!
The patient is a 20+ year old Fender American Standard Strat equipped with the Bi-Flex truss rod. It came to me because the truss rod nut was stripped. Owner said he hasn’t played it in years.
I have been able to remove the stripped nut.
However, I cannot get the fingerboard to go flat. With no strings on it, and no truss rod nut, the action is .023 at the 6th fret.
If I use a clamp and cauls, I’m able to force the neck into a slight back bow. I then tightened the truss rod nut as much as I was comfortable for fear of stripping it. When I released the clamp and cauls, I measured .008 at the 6th fret.
I’m guessing I’m dealing with a warped neck?
Is heat treating the neck the best course of action?
I eagerly await your feedback. Thanks!
