ADJUSTING THE TRUSS ROD
To adjust the truss rod, first locate the truss rod access at the headstock (Figure 2) or end of neck by body joint (Figure 3),
remove the truss rod cover, and insert the correct size allen wrench (4mm) or pipe wrench (8mm) to adjust.
Turn counter-clockwise to loosen and clockwise to tighten.
Note: If your truss rod nut access is not visible, it is possible your instrument
has it located inside of the neck pocket (Figure 4) – this will require the neck
to be taken off of the body to adjust the truss rod.
Truss rod adjustments should only be performed by a qualified technician.
Improperly adjusting or over adjusting the truss rod can result in damage to
the guitar neck and is not covered under the warranty.
