730L/12 TR adj?

Post by jdogric12 »

Hey gang. My acoustic neck is starting to get a little bow-y. It's an '05 factory. Will the neck adjust just like an electric? Thanks, JD

The neck on these 12s can be tough to dial in. They are quite sensitive to string type and gauge. I would not use anything above a .010 set, and Martin Extra lights seem to work best for me.

I' ve tried Elixir Nanos and they seem to mess with the neck a bit. I'd be interested to know what you're using, Jason.

Elixir, I think they are Nanos. I'll try the Martins. Thanks!
