hi all, the topic says it all.what exactly should i do to ensure that the guitar is not faulty (mainly the truss rod). regards
I doubt, you can check the truss rod to make sure it works (i.e. it moves), because you would have to turn it and then you destroy the action. I guess if it is visible see if the adjusting nut (?) is not rusted. I onec bought a used guitar and at that time I was just starting and yes the truss rod had problems, i..e I couldnt adjust it. In the end I traded it at a shop where I bought a new guitar. Check the action by playing. I guess that is the most important thing. Do a visual inspection of the neck from the headstock end and see for straightness/up bow/ back bow. Syed
it depends on the degree of bow. most of the time for reasonably built guitars it can be adjusted for things like tempearature change etc
