How do i get to my truss rod?!
I never go to a guitar tech. In fact I'm a technician who kinda learned how to play bass. There are some good instructional videos on the interwebz. This is one of my favorites:
The problem with learning from Yutube videos is they don't always cover the “what ifs”. If you're not a technically savvy person to begin with a simple problem encountered that isn't covered in a “typical” repair can become a major problem by the inexperienced and unprepared.
I'm pretty handy and like to take things on myself, but at a certain price point I'm going to let a professional with more experience take on the major things.
A mate of mine has a 1960s Hofner Verithin and I was there the day he tried to get the action just a little bit lower, the sound was like a breaking bone when something snapped, he was heartbroken. It looks good hanging on the wall, just dont try to play it
that was the sound of that man's breaking heart
Every cloud has a silver lining though, he gave £100 for a 1976 Fender Telecaster in 3 tone sunburst and maple fingerboard to a lad who was desperate for the cash
Spawny twat!
