On my new 660/12 it appears the Rickenbacker truss rod cover will not come off unless I detune a bunch of strings. Is this the normal procedure? If this is the way it's done this seems quite a cumbersome way to do it. I mean loosen strings, remove cover, retune, adjust rod, loosen strings, put cover back on, retune.
Can someone enlighten me before I tear into this project?
Thanks,
Marty

It is pretty hard to tell what does bring happiness; poverty and wealth have both failed.
And trying to achieve happiness, I have realized there is a fine line between genius and insanity---I have erased this line.

Thanks Chris!
Yep, they may indeed be high maintenance, but you have to maintain all guitars... and this one certainly deserves it!!
I can't tell you what a joy it is to finally own one of these after 35 years in the business!
Thanks much for the info!

Martin: Glad to see you are "Learning to Fly."
The good news is that this adjustment is not required very often if your instrument is set-up well to begin with and you stay with the same gauge strings.
I have found that the seasonal adjustment is infrequent once your new Rickenbacker has adjusted to its new climate(very high humidity climates excepted).
Remember if you are uncomfortable due to the humidity and heat (cold) so is your Rickenbacker.
Congratulations on a fine instrument.

Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm
