    Wot Waz sed.
    Pro tip: wind the truss rod so as to put a backbow into the neck. This will help to minimise chip out when you rip those pesky speed humps out
    Then wind it back so the neck is flat and proceed with your choice of filler.

    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....

    Now that is an awesome tip, and I presume that also applies to when you refret a 6 string...

    Wish I had heard that tip before I started.
