Warped. Not.


This happened over time, it wasn't an immediate reaction- the Kiesel Vader neck you see here, warped. If you have come across the standard Vader neck, you know how substantial it is in terms of thickness & on this note per se, it's an unlikely candidate for a neck warp. But be informed that the guitar neck's susceptibility to warping is not about how thick it is. It's about the manufacturer's reinforcements in dealing with temperature changes. At the end of last night, the neck was all straight again, all thanks to the truss rod; some quick turns & it's cured. I must say that Kiesel equipped this guitar with a very reactive truss rod & the headless access at the neck end made it a breezy rectification episode.

Warped as in bent with more/less relief, or warped as in twisted?

No twisting here, just a concave arch/ up-bow.
