RE: curved neck (in reply to koella)

Hi Koella. That's bad news. The reason can be humidity changes... But it can also be a bad preparation before fretting. It's called back bow. And it happens when the slots of the frets are to narrow for the fret wire. The the frets pres the neck backwards. The thing to do is to remove the frets and leave the guitar for a while before refretting. Another good reason for reinforcing the neck.

James. This slight bow is called relief and should be a few tenth of a milimeter. You adjust fretless instruments like violins etc. the same way. Setup is not so easy. You cant just put a file on the frets and make them straight

Koella. They should know themselves. You can either make the slots wider or use a fret wire with a more narrow tang. The important thing is that wire and slot need to work together.
