Where is the truss rod?
Our truss rod is located on the inside of the guitar, where the neck joins the body. You can see it by sticking a small mirror (Like a woman's compact) inside the guitar and looking up under the fingerboard. There is a little hex connector there where the truss rod adjustment key fits.
How do I use the truss rod?
If at all possible, have a professional do this, or have them show you how. However, if you are set on doing this yourself, please follow these instructions.
- If your guitar has too much front bow in its neck and you're trying to flatten its neck, tighten the truss rod (No more than 3/4 of a turn.)
- If your guitar has a back bow and you're trying to flatten it, loosen the truss rod.
VERY IMPORTANT
Never tighten the truss rod more than 1 full turn from the loose position. If at all possible, have a professional do the job for you.
What is the truss wrench size?
We have two wrenches, depending when your guitar was manufactured. The newer style truss rod uses a wrench that is silver, shaped like an L and measures 5/32nds. The older style wrench is black, shaped like a J and measures 3/16ths.
