I bought a brand new Nashville in June. I love Tele's and I am on my fourth Nashville! My issue with this beauty is, the neck! It is a maple neck with Rosewood fretboard.
First of all, the neck is so "sensitive". The slightest touch puts it out of tune. The neck moves too easily. I took a look at the neck and it did need some straightening so I got my trusty Allen wrench and feeler gauge out and adjusted it appropriately. It is still so touch sensitive.
Does my Tele have a bad neck?
Open string and 12th fet intonation is also off slightly and I don't want to mess with it too much just yet.
Any advice would be very appreciated!

Thanks

Of course, there is indeed such a thing as an unstable neck. If you bought it in June and it hasn't settled in by now, you really might want to invoke your warranty.
