I always give the neck one week to settle in with the new adjustment before I start adjusting again. 1/8 of a turn is plenty when the neck needs just a little adjustment.
@@Massobliteration idk where all the fear mongering came from but people are terrified of the truss rodd. Adjustments should be apparent immediately and fully take effect within hours or less, not days like OP seems to think.
@@onlyusernameleft2 Exactly, also i dont know why they fear they may break the truss rod, i mean that would be possible but with small adjustments is highly unlikely it will happen. And like you said, the adjustment takes effect inmediately, i always notice it instantly and stays that way for a long time if not forever.
Dude your short vids are amazing! I legit learned more from these than the majority of these 15+ min videos in the same. Maybe it's my ADD, or maybe I just smoked away my patience, but your stuff gets the job done.
I’ve adjusted about 10 guitar, 3 required some serious adjustments.. never even came close to breaking or to a point where I though they would break.. has anyone ever broken one, or the neck of the guitar while adjusting?
Maybe not your thing, or relevant, but sometimes truss rods are installed backwards, (how?) before I adjusted my Epiphone Firebird truss rod, I verified how they work, I knew I needed more bow, it was backbowed ….but the direction 3 different web sites said I should turn it, increased the backbow, I thought I broke it, 😬 but immediately turned it slightly past where I’d started, in the “wrong” direction …..perfect! I had a luthier install jumbo frets & a Bone Nut, but he was downtown where it’s humid and I live where it’s dry, so no big deal but scary…..after all I did with that axe $800 plus $1100 in parts. Every original piece of metal was replaced! Wrap tail bridge. But a Firebird like no other, 2 Seymour Duncan’s, 1 TV Jones filtertron, 3 stacked volume/tone, 4 selectable coils per PU, each has off/on And yes….it WILL doom, 17 gauss bridge, 13 gauss, middle, 8gauss neck, but it does sooo many other sounds too, hard to mess up a neck through was my theory…..sustain for days!🙂
also i HATE when those little Screws fall apart and VANISH into the nothingness of the floor, last week i lost the screw from my Black Double cutaway Les paul... sigh and yeah spend about an Hour trying to find it in that dirty-ass muddy floor near Central park NY
you mean only a dual action allows you to get back relief going counter clock wise. otherwise going counter clockwise on say a cheap squire gives you more bow.
Why would setting my neck relief break my truss rod? That's what the truss rod is for. Can you show me how to strum a chord without breaking my guitar too?

Lmao a WEEK?! How long does it take to tune your guitar? Have you managed to take the shop strings off of it yet or do you remove one per month?
@@onlyusernameleft2 Right, some people are just so exaggerated lol

great shorts content 👍
longer detailed videos would also be much appreciated!
OM is such a dope band.
That long sleeve Om T is too sick.
PHENOMENAL..VERY INFORMATIVE..THANK YOU..
Sure thing!
I'm loving these setup based videos.
I love the part where he adjusts the truss rod
I didn't knew saruman was into guitars
Proper truss rod adjustment tool equals Allen wrench/key or hex socket

and it was the mighty GIBSON who created such glorious complex mechanic, aside our beloved Humbuckers, SG & Les pauls of Honor
Thank you Jesus.
that was just what I was looking for!
that hair is godly
Thank you! 🎵👍
I learned all this pretty fast after i started using d standard and 9s but yeah
Just found out what the hole in my strats headstock is for. Been playing too long to not know this.
Who this Kool Kat great vedio.

Does the guitar need to be loosened or tightened when using heavier strings?
Adding heavier strings will add more concave bow to the neck, so you’ll need to tighten the truss rod to straighten it out.
@@DoesItDoom thanks steve
Really I think .006 or .15mm is better for eletric guitar.

OM!
it really works , thinks
Unless it’s a dual action truss rod and then it may feel like it’s loosening a bit before tightening again.

Quick question, have you ever listened to the track "Spine of God" by Monster Magnet?
Thank you Jesus
🤘👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹🤘Hej bro przyjacielu jest ok
Bro I just realize, you look like J mascis from Dinosaur JR
Is this done before setting action?
Yes.
always adjust with the TRAIN system: tune, relief, action, intonation, noodle
@@SoggyBacco that’s great! Will remember that acronym.
Is there a truss rod for the years 2020-2022? Asking for a friend 🤣🤣🤣

Jesus giving out guitar tips..... It must be important, better write it down.
I assume I can do this same procedure on a bass? Same clearance with the feeler gauge?
bro i need some adjustment on my bass
