cut the fretboard off a factory neck. glued on my razor straight fretboard, neck was straight, now there seems to be too much relief, buffer strings ? any thoughts or suggestions? the rack?

I feel your pain Daniel. I’m dealing with same disappointment in my current build but mine is back bow. Strung it up and buzzed all the way to 7th fret. Oak neck was dead flat walnut fret board was dead flat. Don’t know know what or when things went south but it did. What to do now? Don’t think I have enough fret height to level all down again.

thank you Ramson. tite bond III. not coming loose anytime soon. my mistake was leaving the middle clamps on as you mention. usually i make my own necks and bypass this error.

perhaps, UJ. i thought i should un-clamp it before going to bed. do you agree to trash it?

Glue and a long clamping period?

"before strings"

here's the bottom of the neck and fretboard. planned on sanding off all the finish. may be trash.
