Are you saying I didn't read the original post mate? I've been patient I'd tried to help you bro. You've been given all the tools needed to work through your issue by some of the best people on the forum.
The mere fact that you would intentionally add a ridiculous amount of relief to your neck just to achieve string clearance demonstrates you know exactly zero about setting up a guitar.
It's kinda hard to help someone who already knows everything, good luck with that.
Hmmmmm... Bit of a brain bender..
If the neck is twisted you would see it by sighting along the neck but I dont think thats the problem.
Grab a 600mm steel rule from the $2 shop and notch it to correspond with the frets, this will let you check the overall straightness of the neck.
Pretty sure from looking at the pics and your description that your neck has a forward bow.
what do you mean by a front bow? do you mean like the neck is screwed or is that my fault?
Not your fault at all, if the neck has a front bow all you need to do is loosen the strings and tighten the truss rod.
Usually if you tighten it so it has a 2-3mm back bow, when you tune the Guitar the string tension should pull the neck close to dead flat.
Might take a few goes to get it right, but with the aid of your straight edge you should get it sorted
nah its not working mate all it dose it cut out at the 12th up. with all the help you guys have given me about the nut and the neck i checked it all over more than 10 times, its like its a neck fault or something. i dunno i'm really sick of it to tell you the true, its not your fault. no need to be rude barge.:mad:
Here you go Aidan make yourself one of these out of a 600 mm stainless rule as DB suggested. Sometimes building guitars can be frustrating , but you'll learn so much from this ready for any future builds . See pic attached
Sorry but my dad wont let me get a ruler, he thinks ive spent too much money on this already
You already have a ruler straight edge just notch it as per pic
Aiden if you have tried everything we have suggested and still have no luck I'd take it to a guitar tech to look at. Might cost a few bucks but they should be able to tell you the problem.
Doubt the neck is twisted
