fguihen Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 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?

Linny Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 The joys of single action rods! Chances are with the rod loose a little more relief will come with time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...

guitar2005 Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 do tighten up the rod a little so that its not completely loose. Having it completely loose can cause rod rattle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
