Hey everybody - quick question, hopefully somebody with some experience can help me out.

I did the sight test on my neck today, just felt like it, and I've noticed a small issue that I'm hoping is really just a non-issue. I keep my neck pretty straight with only a slight relief. But today I noticed that looking down the E string, it looks pretty straight, but flip it up and looking down the G string, it looks like it has noticably more curve. What is this generally indicative of? It isn't problematic, though I do keep a low action and I don't want my neck turning itself over as time goes on.

What's everybody think?

I have no idea, but here's a bump to the top. Maybe someone knows.

Alright folks, for those of you who might have read this, I did a relief adjustment on the truss today - there was a bit too much slack that had dialed itself in, weather has gotten really cold in the past couple weeks, so I tightened it out just a bit and the whole neck looks fine now. The difference was extremely minimal to begin with, it was just a slight concern, but I'm pretty sure it's not a problem.

The changing seasons will wreak havoc on the necks stability.

Indeed. Less of a problem on this side of the pond...
