Subj : Back Again To : Jenn Cowfish From : Neall Mercado Date : Wed Nov 08 2000 10:35 am -=> Quoting Jenn Cowfish to All <=- Hello Jenn, JC> but since then i've gotten a 6 string acoutistic...pretty old but in JC> working condition - nice fret finishing and straight neck basically. I Straight neck? The neck should have a slight forward curve when under tension, or what we called "relief." This allows room for the vibration of the strings, which forms a curve at the extreme points of its movement. If your neck are straight, you will not get the action and hear some rattles from the lower positions or those from the bass strings.
