Truss Rod Fully Losened?


Recommended Posts

I have a pretty low action, and was getting some fret buzz in a new Les Paul. i measured neck relif at 6th fret and it was non existant.

I adjusted the truss counter clockwise until i had about 0.010 inches of relief at fret 6. I would like a little more relif, but the truss nut is now lose enough that i can turn it with my finger, without the need for a wrench, as if its fully losened.

is that normal? have i reached the end of the amount of adjustment i can do?

Perfectly normal, Gibson uses a single way truss rod, you can only adjust it clockwise... You can not adjust the rod counter clockwise I'm afraid...
