Neck Out of Adjustment 330 JetGlo

Post by skram »

Broke my B string and cased guitar and didn't get back to it for a couple of months. Recently decided to change strings (wanted to play some Petty tunes) and neck so out that strings resting on frets. Had put away tuned just the broken B. New strings and adjusted rods and all is well. Just wondering what would cause this.

String it back up and let it sit 24 hours. If it's still out, adjust the truss rod (assuming you know how - if not, learn, its' easy, just use the proper longhandled tool).

Did and done. Back to normal. Sorry I left it so long, can't put it down.

Good example here that these guitars are essentially made of flexible material. Wood takes time to acclimate to changes (especially if you're in a humid area). Always good to put tension on with strings, let it settle, and then address any issues.

Glad it's sorted now, props to JDog. 8)
