OK the rods are out. I am going to cut an inch off and re-thread them. Can you tell me the thread size on the rods? From measuring, I am thinking it is 10-32 UNF. Any thoughts.

OK, the strings are off and there is a clamp between the nut and the first fret. The TR nuts are still dug into the wood. What should I use to pry the two rods up enough to get a wrench on them?

Yes, the neck has way to much relief. There is almost a 3/16" gap between the E string and the 9th fret. I have not adjusted this type of truss rod before. The strings are 100, 80, 65 & 45. This has been a problem for about 10 years. I have tried to tell myself that I could live with it.

Can anybody tell me how to fix a truss rod, where the truss rod seems to be bent down to the wood at the head stock end? I can't get a tool on the nuts.
