Reggaebass Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 If it’s a 2 way rod I don’t think the nut comes off 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twincam Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 If it needs moving in the future say for higher gauge/tension strings. Loosen the truss rod till neck is straight, use a straight edge. Then gently apply back bow with one hand at the top of the neck by the nut and your knee in the middle of the neck, your other hand on the frets just before the neck to body joint is. DO NOT use a hand on the body to bend the neck! And make sure the guitar body is supported. Keep pressure on and get someone to re tighten the truss rod. This is an easy way to get a little bit more adjustment. If that isn't enough then there's more intensive methods but they are probably for the more experienced instrument tech people. Being a 90s reissue it's more likely that it will have a 2 way trussrod so likely the washer truck won't work. I maybe wrong however 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the above trick does not work you need to talk to a tech. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
