What Guitar Are You Playing At This Very Moment...

[HomespunEffects]

Learning a solo that I need at least 22 frets and easy access to and I've barely touched this in the last 2 years. It's not feeling too bad today, but it's really a bummer how the truss rod issue is causing such a lack of sustain/life.

I never truss Rod He messed up the Faces

Tell me what the problem is with the truss rod.

I got it refretted years ago, the tech took all the tension off the neck and never put it back after the job was done. He did a terrible refret and I was so discouraged I put it in the case until I found someone who could fix it but by the time I found someone the truss rod nut sank in the truss rod cavity, pushing against the wood. The only way I can adjust it is a 2-person process with one person pushing the guitar down into a table while the other pulls the headstock down toward the floor while trying to get the wrench over the truss rod nut.

It's most certainly a result of the headstock being broken off twice over the years, there's wood pushing/pulling different directions and I think the combination of everything just fucked it. The neck is fairly straight but it took about a centimeter of nut shims to make that happen and I believe the lack of proper contact of the nut/wood may be playing a big role in the overall sound/resonance.

It plays ok, just sounds lifeless.

I don’t play my PRS metal foil very often because it’s a heavy beast.
It does sound excellent and it sustains for ever which makes it really fun to play.
I’ve decided to hard tail it now though.

That is the 2400 from ABM
Finding a quality option that addresses both issues is not easy, most don’t address the angle.

That is the best bridge available for this problem. It may still have the odd moment but it’s better than anything else available.

My buddy’s kid’s guitar was “cutting up his fingers.” Spent the afternoon taking care of that. Turd=polished:
