MisterNoisy Posted October 11, 2004 Report Posted October 11, 2004 (edited) Counteracts the forces exerted by the strings on the instrument's neck. Also serves to allow the player to make some adjustments to the instrument's action by varying the amount of relief (bowing) allowed. Edited October 11, 2004 by MisterNoisy Quote
www Posted October 11, 2004 Report Posted October 11, 2004 Using the truss rod to set action is bad advice. Set truss rod to where there is little or no bow and then set action by lowering or raising the strings by the bridge and/or nut. Read here. Quote
MisterNoisy Posted October 11, 2004 Report Posted October 11, 2004 (edited) My bad -- sorry. Meant to add 'in response to environmental changes'. Posting from work = half-formed thoughts. Edited October 11, 2004 by MisterNoisy Quote
Speedbass Posted October 12, 2004 Report Posted October 12, 2004 A truss rod also diminishes sustain. Tension vs (string) tension results in cancellation to some degree... Quote
