How do I adjust the truss rod on my Steve Morse?

[doubleR]

Every guitar I've owned has come with a truss rod wrench--except this one.

What's the correct method?

thanks.

use a allen wrench or small phillips screwdriver anything that will fit in the hole but is strong enough not to break.

I generally tend to use a hammer and a tube of toothpaste to adjust the truss rod

Q: What is the best way to adjust the action on my Music Man guitar?

A: The best and easiest way to adjust your action is to use the truss rod. To lower your action, turn the wheel clockwise. To raise your action, particularly if you have fret buzz, turn the wheel counter clockwise. It is always a good idea to make just one or two turns at a time, then play it and see if it needs more adjustment. It normally doesn't take many turns of the wheel to notice a difference.

A "turn" as defined here is inserting an adjustment tool and moving a spoke of the wheel from one side of the neck to the other side.

Great. Bring your tools to the open house and you can have at it on my guitars.


...if you don't mind, that is.



















and not while I'm playing them, either.
