I hang my 2 guitars up on a wall rack in the spare bedroom, bad idea! went to have a play tonight on them and both of them was badly out of tune, but the custom built one is now unplayable, really high action, sounds awful and the high E string is rattling in the nut. a lesson learnt.
Neil.

Bad luck there Neil. Maybe if you slacken the strings off and put it in their cases in a cool place a few days away from the heat and maybe the necks will go back to normal position. a little moisture might also be a good idea say by putting a damp cloth inside the case inside a plastic bag with holes pierced in it.

Good bit of advice there mate, i will go and do that now. i really should now better in my trade DOH!!!!

I cannot think of anything better Neil. I have seen how they cure issues with acoustic guitars and this is similar so might work after a few days to a week. Let me know if it sorts it for you.
