What Did You Do With Your Guitar(s) Today?

[Eagle]

I tried to address the neck relief on my Schecter PT Classic (made in Japan), which appears to not have enough adjustment to get the relief right. Not a fan of neck heel adjustment wheels, dual action truss rods, which this has.

What is it now? It will almost certainly be able to get to the right spot.

It is a dual action truss rod. One way (to the left when sitting in my lap) past the middle point where it is disengaged is far too much neck relief. Turning it the other way until it is maxed out is still about .014-.016. It seems to never actually get to around .010 where it needs to be. Not a fan of neck heel adjustment wheels, and my first experience with a dual action truss rod isn't particularly a postive one.

Find the middle point. Then tighten it to touch the engagement and tune the guitar. Then tighten until you get to about 6/1000” it should easily achieve that. If you get to the end of the travel check nothing is stripped. There’s likely 5 full turns in both directions which would do anything.

It isn't getting to 0.010. It gets really tight to the right where I am unable to turn it any further and I do not want to strip it. .014 or so is about as close as it'll get. Turning it the other direction and it is far too much relief. Otherwise, it is one of the best gutiars I own, but the fact I can't set it up properly is really disappointing.

The next thing you can do is remove the neck and clamp it in to a slight back bow ant see if that frees up the rod to move .
