allpoopedout Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 I read on another forum that this isnt possible but I could swear that it was. You guys are obviously the ones to ask so let me know what ya think. I ordered a hot rod truss rod and If i have to heel adjust it, then it would be a good thing to know before i start routing. It will be an R4 nut I will be using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 mmm...well that is bad news then because of all of my guitars with floyd locking nuts,some i built and some i bought...every single one of them adjusts at the head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibnaz5150 Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 I've had several warmoths with a heel adjustment and a floyd nut. Are you doing an angled headstock?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 what he is saying is that he was told that headstock trussrod adustment was impossible with a floyd locking nut...which is completely false... it can be done either way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was pretty sure that was the case. But before i made a mistake I thought it best to ask here. The headstock is non angled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spazzyone Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 who ever told you that is dead wrong much like Wes all my Floyd guitars are at the head and all are two way rods be smart dont take anymore advice from that person or you could get into trouble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert_the_damned Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 I'll agree with everyone else its perfectly possible. What that person *may* have been trying to say is that if you use a headstock adjustable truss rod and a bolt through style floyd rose locking nut you end up with a potential weak spot at the head end of the neck (as there isn't a lot of wood there to start with). However, it can be done and lots of guitars do have a setup like this and work fine unless you drop them but most guitars don't like being dropped on their headstocks.
