A simple guitar tip on how to adjust the truss rod of a Taylor acoustic guitar. I showed the most important tool to use, the 1/4" truss rod wrench which is 6.35 mm and NOT 6.5mm. This procedure is essential in guitar setup.

It was really stress on my fingers trying to press the notes and chords. I finally know what need to be fix after watching ur video. Thank u!!! Now I can play without unnecessary straining.

Sounds like your nut slots are too high to me. check the gap between the strings and the top of the first fret. Should be 0.020" on low E & A, 0.018" on D & G and 0.016" on B & high E (all on open unfitted strings / without capo)

Hello there. My Taylor is a model 110-GB. It's always had high action since new, so not pleasant to play (so I don't play it!). I just took it out, and am going to adjust the truss rod. The adjusting nut on this model is on the end of the neck inside of the sound hole. I'll guess the process is the same as the head stock end adjustment, but wanted to check out your video. Thank you. ...beautiful playing.

Hello Edwin, thanks for the nice video. I have gotten a lot of help from you in regards with my Martin. I just traded it in to get a Taylor 114ce. Edwin, what a difference in the action, I have arthritis in my fingers as well as them being small. I really was struggling with the Martin. I have to change the strings though, they are 13s..I am going down to 11s, so I will have to adjust the neck a little. I like the sound of my Taylor better than the Martin, although the Martin had a little deeper sound, but play ability of the Taylor is the difference between night and day. Edwin, which do you like better. Thank you for your videos, they make things easier. DAVID

Congrats on your new guitar. And thanks for a very nice comment here. You are right about Taylor neck, it is really comfortable to play. I cannot decide between Martin and Taylor because I like them both. It really depends on my mood which one I would like to play and which guitar better suits with the song I am playing.

Taylor has its distinct bright tone. I don't know about string buzz you mentioned. If it is setup properly then, it should be ok. And also depends on your playing style. If you strum so hard, then you need a bit higher string action.

I have an old aria acoustic guitar. When i remove the truss rod cover all I see is a regular nut that is at the bottom of the rod with some threads exposed. There is no eggcorn or bullet in front of it. There is no possible way to fit a socket in to tighten it since there is no clearance in front of the rod because the wood head stock is in front of it. It can probably be accessed with a open ended wrench. I need to straighten the neck. it has a bow in it and the strings are pretty high from the fret board. Any input?

I think 3 possible causes. 1. The saddle height for 6th string is high. 2. Neck is a little twisted, 3. Bulge on the guitar body.

hello good morning I would like to know which is the exact wrench to adjust the soul of my baby taylor BT1 guitar since the normal one for Taylor does not fit is a 1/4 inch 6.35mm wrench but it seems as if it was too small you could tell me what is the measure exact please i will appreciate it very much

Hey bro, what do I do If I want to lower the action on my 814ce but there is no bowing present? Can I still lower the action by tightening the truss rod and not have any buzzing or cause any reverse bowing? Thanks!
@Edwin-E
@Edwin-E 3 жыл бұрын
If the neck is already straight, then tightening the truss rod will cause reverse bowing which will cause fret buzz on the lower frets. If the action is too high, then probably needs a neck reset. Refer to my other video where I tried doing it. I recommend you contact an authorized Taylor service center if this needs to be done. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHyZg2OwnLOcZsk

@@Edwin-E Thanks Edwin, yeah I did watch your excellent neck reset video but I don't believe my Taylor has a bolt-on neck so I can't do anything myself that's for sure. I just bought the guitar from Sweetwater and it was shipped to me so I'm not sure how to get it serviced under warranty since it's really just a preference on my part and not a defect. Thanks for your advice!

The purpose of Truss Rod Adjustment is to keep the strings as low as possible without buzzing when played relatively hard. I am saying relatively because it depend to the play style of each guitar player.

there are many causes of fret buzz. Please watch my other video to have an idea: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqq4g5hubMh8ock. Let me know how it goes. You can use a normal ruler to measure action.

Hi Edwin, I’m not sure if you make Taylor Guitar action lower, turn Truss tod clockwise or counterclockwise?
@Edwin-E
@Edwin-E 3 жыл бұрын
normally, tightening by clockwise to counteract string tension. This will make neck straight if it is bowed inward, thereby lowering the action.
