my beautiful sounding masterbuilt is back
Posted by Mike58 on April 4, 2021 at 7:55 pmFinally got brave enough to adjust my truss rod. My masterbuilt is back sounding like it use to.

Congrats Michael! Two and half years for playing/learning now and I am still afraid.

That’s a double win @Michael M. You have your beloved Masterbuilt playing again, but you also have the win of knowing just how easy it is to adjust those truss rods. I have done it on a number of my guitars now. It’s a super simple fix. As long as you do a very small turn (like 1/16 – 1/8), and then re-tune, it’s all good. If you need to do it again, ok, just don’t do too much at once.

I have played with the truss rod on some of the youth guitars I have around. But I had the Masterbiult pleked last year didn’t want to mess that up. But the buzz got to me.
Thank you

Congratulations on adjusting your truss rod. I have not been able to muster up the courage. Both of my guitars are off to the luthier this month. He is expensive but always has my guitars back sounding great. I have just accepted it like getting my HVAC system serviced each year. Again congratulations it is great skill to be able to acquire.
