I just bought a Recording King RD-A9M for far less than new price because it was advertised as having a warped neck. The way the problem was described made it sound more like a truss rod issue. Curiousity about these inexpensive solid wood guitars got the better of me, along with thinking I could probably fix it.
Here's the thing: when I look down the neck, it doesn't appear twisted or warped. Instead, it looks like all the frets are even, but the nut sticks up higher toward the end with the 6th string. I sighted down my Seagull, and it doesn't look like that.
It appears that the nut is glued on correctly, so pushing it down won't cure the problem. I'm thinking about removing the nut and carefully sanding the excess, but have doubts as to whether or not that's a good idea.
Has anyone else had a problem like this, and are replacement nuts available for these? It looks like it could be a nice instrument if I can get it to behave.
Thank you,
