I just realized that this must be absolutely the only list where
one can find people debating the merits of bending a Steinberger
or Klein neck.  Not that I've any idea of the significance of such
debate...

Personally, I would never bend the neck on my Klein.  It's got no
truss rod and just a few screws keeping it in place.
