StayIn Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 Hi guys! Im looking forward to do some adjustment on Gibbie SG as i found that lots of gigging + beers and wines on it have done some damage and now if i dont wanna fret buzz i need to lift bridge very high so action gets terrible! Looking from body towards tuners i see some curve on the neck line - its obvious i need to adjust the neck. So. Ineed your help guys as i dont wanna to do any bollocks with that! Whts the sequence between bridge height adjustment and truss rod adjustment? What sized key i need for trus rod? Which way i need to rotate that bolt? Help me guys. On the internet is plenty of tips but ive never find one from beginning till the end of job. If you have some tips to me please share , as this information may be helpfull for other newbies as well! Thank you !!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peeper Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 You mention many beers, I assume that means on and in the guitar.:- So don't forget the cleaning and preservation of your finish and hardware parts as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
