    does anyone know were i could get a 69 Fender Mustang neck? ive tried ebay but they only have mustang bodies not necks.
    or does anyone have any suggestions as to what i could do with my neck? its warped and bowls in the middle so the fifth fret on all strings sounds nasty

    1stly hold down the low E string at the 1st and 12th frets and check for a gap between the top of the 6th fret and the bottom of the string. This is how i've always set the neck relief on my guitars. There should be a slight gap (around the same thickness as the high e-string) here. If you're not comfortable with adjusting the truss rod bring it to a guitar tech.

    Truss Rod adjustment. Be careful though. Never turn it more than quarter turn. You most likely dont need a new neck.
