I've heard of this. I think Dan Erlewine demonstraits it in his advanced fretting video. I think part of the object is to slip the glue joint of the neck/fingerboard to bow the neck back, but I'm not sure. Never done this myself.
All fretwork is performed using the Erlewine neck jig. The main benefit of the neck jig is that you can perform fret work on the guitar while simulating string tension, for the most accurate fretting and fingerboard leveling possible!

These are unique guitars designed by Ned Steinberger, a true innovator in solid body electric guitars. The locking tremolo bridge is one huge feature that make Steinberger owners love their instruments. The Hohner GT3 being a budget model has what is known as an R-Trem that utilizes a design more like a traditional knife edge tremolo. Steinberger S-Trem and Trans- Trem bridges are more advanced. Note that not all Steinberger bridge types are interchangeable and may require a different route. Visit SteinbergerWorld to learn more about bridge types on these guitars.
