360-12 without strings

Post by rgmaier »

I acquired a 360-12 with some modest head damaged that will require taking the strings off for a few days to re-glue/fill some chips/cracks. Should I worry about adjusting the truss bars to loosest position to avoid any damage-- could be 2 weeks or so.

Hi Robert, welcome.


I've had the strings off my 12ers for longer than 2 weeks with no problems. Loosing the truss rods wouldn't hurt, but I think it's overkill (and may result in more work than its worth).

I wouldn't, either way you're likely to made an adjustment when you string it up again.
