Yeah, I tried the truss rod adjustment pretty early on, but it didn't fix the issue. Yeah. It's in pretty good condition other than a few scrapes and dings. My dad thought the guitar body was a good place to wack his tuning fork! I also made my own scratch by the bridge post when I was 15 trying to adjust the action... It basically lived in its case in a closet laying down. Standing it up and supporting the body better has done a world of good.

My dad gave me his old 1980 ish SG "firebrand" I didn't play it much because the fretboard had a bit of a hump. The guitar lived in its original gibson hard case, and I believe that because the body was thinner than the case was designed for it held the guitar incorrectly and the first spot the next was supported caused a hump around the 12th to 15th fret. So I didn't play it much because it would buzz or need high action/relief to be somewhat playable. Anyway, I stuffed some socks behind the body to correct the angle and stood the case upright in my closet. I had a friend over and we got to talking about guitars and I pulled out the sg for the first time in probably 2 years. I was thrilled to find that the hump in the neck is about 95% better. I wouldn't notice it not if I wasn't looking for it! No buzzing either. I am very happy and surprised that this 40 year old guitar has fixed itself! Anyone else ever experience this?
