dude this is literally the only video I've found that explains it right. All the other ones say it's the very same as if it is on the headstock when its actually the opposite. thanks man you're gonna save me a lot of hassle
Like I said in the video, I couldn't believe no one had posted this before! A student asked me, and I didn't believe him when he said there was no RU-vid video. Glad I could help out! And I hope more people see the video so they don't break their truss rod! I have some more good content coming, so keep in touch and subscribe! Thanks!
Bro I was about to comment the same. Literally all the other videos I have found are long and a waste of time and leave me asking the same question. Comments made it more confusing. Thanks! It was a matter of POV.
@@ShanevsDCsniperr I looked for maybe 30 minutes or so for my student. I kinda just skimmed through videos. I couldn't find anything. So I explained how the truss rod on his Schecter works over Skype. But then I made the video. Hope it helps a lot of people that are wondering how it works! 👍
You're welcome! I couldn't believe it either. But here we are. Lol. Glad I could help. Spoke wheel truss rods are great, and much easier to access. I wish every guitar had them!
@@christopherhorton4634 I have a DK24 precisely! Alder body, maple neck, ebony fretboard. HSS pickup config. Went for the floyd rose (a 1000 series, not the original, but I was pleasantly surprised with how stable it is!) My favorite thing on it is the neck for sure! The build quality feels incredible for the price, everything is very smooth and the 12”-16” radius plays like a dream. I would definitely recommend it!
@@Andresdha HSS guitars a such versatile weapons! And I have found that most Floyd 1000 or 1500 versions are just as good as the Original. I have one guitar with a 1000 series that turns 8 this year! If it does ever wear out, I will replace it with an original since it is a direct replacement. But to be fair, the 1000 is almost the same price. I might also add some brass blocks to my Floyds one day. I have 3, so that would be a lot of work. Glad you like your guitar! Sounds like a killer guitar.
Awesome! I am glad. I know a lot of guitars come with this feature now. And while you can definitely rough it out, and figure it out the hard way, I figured why not explain it? Keep rocking!
Shit. This means I was doing it right, and my brand new Ibanez RGMS7 has a truss rod issue. I've loosened the truss all the way to the left (as if I'm looking down my guitar from the bridge to the headstock; righty/tightening goes towards the treble side of the guitar, and lefty/loosening goes towards the bass side of the guitar), and I've raised the action far above what I feel is acceptable and I STILL can't get rid of fret buzz. It still looks straight as a board. Stock strings. Dammit. I have practice tonight!!!
I would take it to a tech just to be sure, then. Sometimes it does take a little force with the little tool that came with your guitar. But if you're not comfortable? Don't make a mistake. Take it to a tech.
What if wont budge!? Jackson PC1 wheel wont turn past an 8th of a turn or so, not quite a quarter. Ive made a pretty decent tool with a handle so I get plenty of leverage to turn. I've oiled and let sit for dispersement and it still says no. Anyone out there experience this before or possibly know what to do??
Then you need something like a straightedge to measure it. Because that means one takes care of the treble side, the other takes care of the bass side. It works the same. But you need to make sure they are measured properly. A straightedge is your best option to make sure the neck is flat all the way across 8 strings.
The neck is actually perfect, but wheels are screwed in to a different depth, I wonder if they should be even.. Does it mean that one rod is loose and all tension of the neck is on the other truss rod?
@@Alex19II Probably not all the tension. If the neck is fine, and has no issues, you're good. Depending on the brand it may be a dual action truss rod. Read up on those. But if it is fine, no need to mess with it. They should not be even with each other. One side will probably need more tension than the other. Especially if it is multi scale.
@@Alex19II Every guitar is different. Some might seem even, but they aren't. Just like saddles on your bridge. Two of the exact same models will intonate differently.
