Yes, as Charles says, a truss rod adjustment may help. I'd suggest trying first to straighten the neck to make it more evenly responsive to the tapping technique. You may find this helps you bring out the correct note more strongly, and if you're lucky at the same time it might lower or eliminate volume from the unwanted extra note.

I used to be a Stanley Jordan fan and learned a few jazz tunes in his two hand tapping style. A bit different than Hedges, but they do share the 2 handed "piano-like" style and the possibility of unwanted notes.

Good luck, and post back your results!
