I spent the last 2 days fighting this Melody Maker. I took it out to play last Friday night & it felt less playable than before. A quick diagnostic revealed a bowed neck. I never had any Gibson necks doing this to me but I guess this neck is not as sturdy as its other siblings considering its altered dimensions. A quick turn of the truss rod cured everything but the following day, it happened again but not as much as before. One more time - truss rod adjustment & it was back to its best. This time I left it outside on the stand to see if the neck would prove problematic but it's cured for good.
