I understand completely, cock-holster. Thats why I dont see how It can affect tuning. The strings don't even touch the neck until you press down on them.
Unless the neck was milled in a spiral shape, the tuning will be fine.

its all about the wood quality and the fact that because of the cheap wood they are forced to mill cross grain. this gives the necks unwanted flexibility as opposed to normal flexibility.this cross grain milling and unwanted flexibility weaken the guitars ability to hold tuning as well as cause other problems. so douchebag, does that help you with your obviously limited comprehension or are you such an ignoramus that you are going to ignore the evidence and stand by your overpriced poseur guitar? which ever you choose keep it to yourself. your emphatic ignorance is pathetic and no longer holds my interest.
I'm looking at my guitar's neck right now, and It's obviously NOT milled cross grain. Then again, It's a '92 model, so maybe they started milling cross-grain after that. I'm willing to accept that I may be mis-informed, but either way, I still hate you, so I win. My hatred of you keeps me warm during the rough months when I can't pay the heating bill.
what ever makes you happy. i am kept warm with the knowledge that i was right and that you are an ignorant moron who argues a point that he doesnt understand.
by the way, the finishing coats they started using in 1990 and still use to this day are made from cheap inferior resins, so your guitar still sucks. poseur.

No, I'm arguing that my guitar Is not cross grained, and that It would take repeated flexing and pressure over many years to warp even an Inferior neck.
I dont fuck with your ability to suck, so don't fuck with my knowledge of guitars.

warping is not the point at all, you retarded pile of shit! learn a little about guitars and then get back to me. you are fucking clueless!

Okay Einstein, then tell me exactly how cross-grain milling would affect the tuning. Go ahead, try. The ONLY way the tuning would be affected Is If the neck warps or the bridge springs are too loose or too tight.. If you have a shitty neck, but the bridge holds, It will still stay In tune.
because cross grain milling allows neck compression to occur. even drying the neck to 6% water content, which is incredibly low, it still lets water remain in the neck. as anyone who knows anything about guitars knows, (this excludes you), more water is retained in the grain layers. a cross grain cut therefore has more compression movement. this affects the guitars ability to maintain tuning. hence the reason an ibanez, your choice of guitar, is eschewed by guitar aficianados and loved by suburban mall teen poseurs.
Dick, you just described how a neck would WARP, which Is what I said before. The string tension would eventually pull the neck up slightly, causing loss of tuning. That Is under EXTREME conditions. I have an old Aria pro II guitar that I got somewhere around '86-'87. This stupid argument just made me go look at It. The neck Is cross-grained. This pig of a guitar has been all over the world with me when I was In the Navy, going through dozens of compressions and de-compressions on flights, and It still stays In tune.
Whoa, I just realized I'm arguing about a guitar neck. Okay, wrong or right, I call this "Over". Now you can dance and sing about how you won an argument on the computer because I gave up. Call It a gift from me to you.
i dont need a gift from you. your insistence to keep going on about warping, when that is not what i am talking about at all, shows your inability to grasp a concept that lies outside your incredibly small realm of knowledge. i won this argument long ago. i must admit though, that i am hesitant to call it an argument when it was actually just me schooling you.
