GregP Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 Trust rod adjustments act agains the entire neck of your guitar, which is made of hardwood. It shouldn't be easy. Make only small adjustments, and keep in mind that sometimes the wood needs to "settle" before you'll notice an effect. I know of techs who will confide that they grab the neck and pull on it a bit to get the wood to "pop" into place rather than waiting for it, but: DO AT YOUR OWN RISK... I myself would only ever do this on a cheap guitar. I wouldn't be yarding on something that you prize. In any case, go in small steps.
