I can put it also to the contrary? that is the bolt of regulation under, towards the manico and not towards the keyboard?

Thanks Urgent please

EDIT :

I ask excuse are not explained to me well. the trafilato part of that

curve must be mounted towards the keyboard..oppure towards the grip of

the manico? Thanks

In the pictures the trussrod is upside down. It might also be a bit to close to the head, but I'm not 100% sure. I place the rod so that the nut of the rod (the part welded to the square steel bar) is right under the nut of the guitar. but there is room for personal opinions in that matter.

truly thanks swedish

I do not succeed to understand as to insert it... oltretutto my

English it is pessimo!

therefore it must push..verso the keyboard up

it must bend from the other part? towards the high?

I do not understand as to insert ... photo wants one to us

The truss rod is upside down.

The flat part is against the fretboard. The round part is in the slot.

Put the truss rod, so the tip of the adjstment tube (where the wrench goes in) is not past the face of the head.

Look at it from the side. If the tip goes out too far, then the slot must be made longer towards the body of the guitar.

The ends of the slot will have the force of the truss rod away from the fretboard, so the square end doesn't have to be exactly under the nut.

Better to be under the fretboard than too far into the head.

Anyhelp?

I think the fretboard is the same as keyboard, right?

I tried wording this using simple english.

My guess is that he's Italian and is using an internet translator. Fingerboard probably translates as keyboard.

Yes! Bravisimo!

The tip must not go past the head face.

So, you can put a truss rod cover on the face.

ok you are Big persons , you have resolved a great problem , I can go ahead with the plan!

wanting I can pull it still behind or I leave cosi' ?

[Guitars]

sincerely yours when I glue the Fingerboard , I must put the glue also on the flat part of the truss rod?

it convene to me before glue the fretboard to the manico ; and after glue the manico to the guitar? opppure the contrary? Thanks

[SwedishLuthier]

I do this:

Put the trussrod in the rout/grove you have made in the neck. Put tape over the trus rod and a small part of the fret board (1-2mm from the edge of the trussrod rout). Spred the glue thin. Pull of the tape. Clamp the fretboard.

Ok !
