Doing a set up on my ric 360 should the neck be straight or have a slight bow in it. Gary

Factory advises straight. Aggressive players like a bit of relief, depends on taste. The aim is to get each string to sound out with no buzz of wolf tones.

Gonna put a set of the thomistic invelds on this weekend. The low side of the neck is perfect but the high e side has a slight bow in it . could the neck have a twist in it?

I think the worries over
twisted necks are overblown, really.

would tightening the truss rod on the treble side be the thing to try and fix this problem, one quarter turn?

....or less even. But I haven't seen the guitar in question.
