Check your neck screws to see if they are loose. I don't mean to sound snippy but are you making small adjustments or big ones on the truss rod?? That can lead to some issues. Hope that this helps.

That's strange as you don't here of neck bowing much these days.Has your truss rod become stripped?Even so very noticeable bowing shouldn't take place especially having to spend hours at it.I encountered a problem much like that on a 79 Strat I bought and no amount of fiddling and adjustment would do the trick.The guitar was brought back to the dealer and he returned the neck to Fender and they promptly sent back a replacement neck as they found there was a twist in the neck that was a result of a warp in the wood that wasn't noticed at the factory but worsened over time.Maybe if you got in touch with customer relations they may be of help,especially if the guitar is under warranty or it's a manufacturing defect.They certainly took care of me and that was 30 yrs ago.
