Hey everyone! Purchased a new MM Sterling Sabre in Cobra on the weekend as an upgrade from my ML3 Chapman Bea signature; and my Lord it’s good
My issue at the moment is that the truss rod wheel moves the tiniest amount either way, but will not move much at all, I noticed the neck bending away from me and causing some significant buzzing on 1st, 2nd and 3rd fret, so thought I would try tightening a bit to compensate
I’ve tried:
• checking for debris
• applying some force to turn it
• applying some force to the headstock whilst turning it
And absolutely nothing happens, I’m not particularly sure what else to do & the thought of applying WD40 so close to the neck pick-up does cause me some concern.
The guitar shop is about 80 miles away, a good 4 hours journey so I ideally didn’t want to go down this route; but as it’s so expensive I’m not sure what else to do.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I don’t really want to break the thing or be without it for so long
