The Truss Rods like the ones in my 1955 Guild X-175,,,are they adjustable ??

Can I put a little more forward bow in the neck by tightening the nut at the end of the Truss Rod ??

Thanks,

Hi Grady,

Yes, they are adjustable, however for a little more forward bow you need to loosen the nut at the end of the truss rod. If you want the neck to be more straight, then you need to tighten it.

Just got finished doing a little Fret Work and Tweaking the Truss Rod on my Guild.
It plays great now.

Thanks Hans !!
