Thank all @ Thorsten Hinrichsen I build my necks with rock maple with a steel tubing inlayed and epoxied in then a hard wood fretboard is glued over that. In 8 years of building I never had one bow and I live in Chicago so the temp is all over the place. Most are tuned to open "A" all but Doc is Gibson scale all others are "25" PRS scale.

Nice ones, I've been building a 3-string with similar body work (like the esp viper which looks like an offset gibson sg). Will probably finish next week.

Is there a trussrod in each neck?
