Neck Bow
Good evening everyone.
I was wondering if there was such a thing as "too much bow" in a neck.
I like and play my mandolins with the truss rod at full relief leaving a noticeable bow in the neck. (kind of like a shallow puddle). It gives me great bass with no buzz or rumbling and low action for the first 7 frets which is where I play almost exclusively. Plus, I play very hard and this allows for a low bridge setting. Could this much relief cause harm to the instrument?
As always, thanks for your time and opinions.
Joe

Alas, it was to none but me."
Goodnight and Joy be to you all!
