If adjusting your truss rod does nothing........

In this video, I show you how to get A LOT MORE tension on your truss rod. An all too common issue with these old hex nuts - the adjustment piece (the piece you actually turn) is too short and does not create enough downward pressure to effectively straighten the rod ( which straightens the neck). The more pressure you put on the rod, the more it will straighten the neck. The straighter the neck is, the closer the strings will be to the frets. Many people enjoy playing a guitar with low action because it's easier to play (hurts your hands less). Straightening the neck on this guitar was easy with the addition of a common nut - watch the video! I will also address the bridge problem on this guitar in my next video. Btw, if you have a guitar with this style adjustment please tell me what it is. I will add your guitar brand to the search tags so others can find this video easily. There are literally thousands of guitars (acoustic and electric) with these old hex nuts with the same problem (all different brands and qualities). I got tons of videos coming shortly, so add me to your favorites if you like this type of garb!

Also, I want to say I KNOW....it's a slotted hex nut. Ever since I saw my first 70's strat with a 'bullet' nut adjustment, I've always called anything that resembles it the same thing. I know a true bullet style is cylidrical with an allen adjustment. Sorry if my terminology offends any proper instrument terminology die-hards.
