🙌🙌💯

[@joeballs5669]

you have a great neck with level frets and board...if you don't have that , beginners just chase their tails lol !

Thank you for making this easy to understand! My wife has 10 basses and I have 10 guitars and an ever-changing climate. This will really save me money by learning to do the adjustments myself!

Thanks Rich - finally makes perfect sense...

And there you go guys don’t be afraid to adjust your truss rod even under tension! This is a pro and has just dispelled the myth and he’s not worried so don’t you be. I’ve worked on a lot of guitars and can’t tell you how many times that the guitar can be fixed with a great playing action and get it playing at its best with simple truss rod adjustment and almost nothing else! Thanks James 👍🏻

And thanks for bringing Noah the wrench. He adjusts the neck on his bass frequently now.

Invaluable!

[@ChrisBrightwellMusic]

Thanks for this Rich! I adjust mine nearly every gig after I've let them acclimate... There's always a slight variation.

This is super informative. Bought a Burning Water from you guys a few months back and have been keeping a close eye on the neck relief. Might be due for an slight adjustment. Where do you recommend getting one of those rulers from?

[@1man1guitarletsgo]

I don't know Tyler's specs to the 0.001", but _Fender's_ website goes into good detail about truss tod and action adjustment, which may help to clarify the information in this video. As well as a "string action ruler" from eBay, I have an old English half-penny that is 1/16" (or 1.6mm) thick, which I use to check the action, and a set of feeler gauges for checking the neck relief.

Another reason why JTG is the best!!

Including a ruler and instructions is low cost and probably saves them money with customer service and/or returns.
