"Now we're going to look at each of those issues and learn how to address each. The first of those was neck warping or bowing. The easiest way is to simply sight down the neck from the position of the bridge and see whether or not you can observe whether or not the neck is straight or whether or not it's got a bow in one direction or another. This one happens to be pretty good. A more accurate way would be to use a metal straight edge such as this. And placing the metal straight edge on the frets themselves and then peering through under the thing, if you see any gaps at any of the frets then you know that your neck is bowed. This one is showing no gaps and that neck is straight."
