    I've been playing guitar for over 30 years. I adjusted my truss rod for the first time tonight. I was always told never to mess with the truss rod, it has to be professionally adjusted. With the help of this video, my Ibanez acoustic that I was ready to turn into firewood has new life! Thanks!

    Been playing since I was 14, I’m now 61. Everyone made it sound like you would mess your guitar up if you messed with the truss rod, but mine needed messed with, and so I found this video, and guitar now plays perfect! Never in all those years did I attempt to adjust it before! Amazing how we can be afraid to do something, then find out we could do it all along! And I actually paid music stores to turn a screw a quarter inch! Lol! Thanks for posting this video!

    Ive had my acoustic guitar for almost a year now and ive always felt like it was so much tougher to play than my electric. I know of course this is generally true for acoustic but I had no idea how much. I could do bar chords but my b string would never ring no matter how hard i tried. My fingers would take physical abuse trying to do them cleanly on the acoustic. Turns out all it took was simply adjusting the truss rod and now its like 10x easier to play. I guess its better I figured this out sooner rather than later.

    Very well explained for a beginner, i purchased a guitar second hand from a pawn shop and needed to fix fret buzz on the low E string. One thing i noticed is the truss rod screw was rather tight (due to the guitar being second hand no doubt), so first turn in either direction take a little bit of extra force.

  • @mickkennedy1344

    Put a capo on the 1st fret, hold down the low E string at the 14th fret, measure the 'neck relief' at the 6th fret (the guitar should not be de-tuned);; adjust the truss rod, if it needs adjusted, so that the 'neck relief' is only about 0.5 millimetre or thereabouts -- that's how a master luthier does it.

To be honest, if I played plugged in or if I played a small, intimate setting, I ALWAYS play a 12 fretter. I've got a 2012 LaPlant and a 1959 Framus, depending on if I'm playing steel or nylon. I played a regular Martin 14 fred Dread otherwise.I'm off on a tangent but im illustrating why YOUR post is relevant.

    @RandySchartiger 8 ปีที่แล้ว +199

    It's ok to loosen the truss under string tension but I wouldn't recommend tightening it under string tension, the strings should be loosened before tightening the truss to eliminate the chance of snapping or stripping the rod itself. Just sayin

      +Randy Schartiger You make a good point here, but with small adjustments there will be no stripping or snapping of the truss rod. I am talking an eighth to a quarter turn at a time adjusting tuning after each change. If the changes were larger I would adjust the tuning surely.

      Not sure if you're asking me or Tony but yes you can adjust with strings off but you'll need the strings back on and up to pitch after the adjustment to be sure your neck relief is proper.

      @michaelsmitten9240 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Hi, as an instinctive (flinching) engineer I always used to slacken the strings before adjusting the truss rod, but a scientific look at the angles involved between nut and bridge seems to me to show hardly any real tension change during adjustment. Indeed apart from a small amount of adjustment the tuning hardly changes. Right for tight.

    When I watch these videos I wonder if this dude is reading off of a teleprompter because the flow of his thoughts into words are very smooth.

    7 yrs ago video 👍🙂. Make sense on adjusting the rod without loosening it, it’s an instant quick adjustment then tune it. I loosen the strings before then tune it. Thanks for the tip on how to check the vibrations of the strings to the fret. Good video 👋👍🙂

    Yes! Thank you! I had all kinds of buzz and rattle - quarter turn the right way and my guitar sounds great again - I'm so happy! Thank you for the tutorial. Many blessings, johnny :-)

      Shouldn't that statement be "-quarter turn the left way..."? Just saying...

    Could you do a tutorial on how to replace tuning pegs? Not the gears just the heads, or is that possible?

      loosen the nut and the screw, pull it out. replace with new ones.
      if you mean the knobs, there's usualy a screw on the outside that you can loosen to swap them out
