ok i have a encore les paul copy...*limited cash*

and the frets on my neck keep on bending a little so that some of the main notes on my solos are becomeing duds..... iv had this fixed a few times but it keeps on repeteing and costing me £30 at a time its droppoing my cash towards a new guitar.....

...so the question....is it worth buying a new neck...and will that stop the problem?

What do you mean the frets are BENDING? Do you mean that little grooves are forming in the high-traffic areas? If so, theres really not much you can do about that, but it's also very odd if its happening quickly.

or do you mean that the entire neck itself is bowing? if so, you can set this yourself by adjusting the truss rod, if your guitar has one. See the TRUSS ROD section at this web page.

And if its a bolt on neck, make sure all the bolts (acatually screws) are tight. Pictures of the phenominon and information about the guitar would be most helpful.
