Fenders denote a truss rod "hole" with paint on the head when the adjustment is on the heel, but I've never seen a fake adjustment cover like this Truetone has. It was also misleading when Harmony printed "Steel Reinforced Neck" on the headstock in the 50s because there was a truss rod, but it wasn't adjustable. Also, is the pickup like the "pancake" pickup the old Kays used? It doesn't look like a vintage foil. A beautiful example of a player grade guitar; To me, they let you feel their history. Sorry for rambling.

thanks for the short concise explanation. Ive got a slightly different problem: I have 2x12 speaker cab of which only one of the speakers has a impedance rating written on it. Im not gonna assume they have the same rating since each is from a different brand. Is there a way to calculate the impedance of a single speaker ? Reliably ;) thanks again
