Guitar Neck Bolt

Always-tight guitar strings will bow the neck. Loosen them to store it, they break. What’s the best balance?
My last guitar’s neck bowed and eventually I couldn’t straighten it any more. Now, I frequently break strings when I re-tighten them after loosening them up after I don’t plan to play for a week or so. This is a steel-string folk guitar. The neck can be adjusted but it’s a pain, and tightening the bolt doesn’t leave the neck perfectly straight; I’d rather not do it if I don’t have to, or anyway too often. When I put on a new string I always wind it several times around the peg before inserting the end into the hole, so that the pressure on that sharp bend into the hole will create as little metal fatigue as possible when I loosen and tighten the string. But they break anyway.
Do you break them at the tuner or at the bridge? If you break them at the tuner it could be a rough spot in the hole.
You should not be playing with the truss rod. Believe it or not, the neck is not supposed to be perfectly straight.
When installing a string, you should put it through the hole, make a sharp bend in it as it comes out of the hole, then make a few turns. You really shouldn’t have more than 2 or 3 turns on the post at any time.
The best thing to do at this point is to take it to a guitar tech and ask them to set it up… cost will be about $40.00.

Guitar T-Shirt $29.99 An electric guitar built right into your shirt! Comes apart and can be machine washed. Included mini-amp goes all the way to 11! We turned on the mini amp, cranked the volume to 11 and started to rock. As the Pixie explained, the Electronic Guitar Shirt is incredibly easy to play because each button on the neck is a major chord. She went on to mention how you can play dozens of classic rock songs with very little skill. However she warned us never to use the Guitar Shirt for evil, lest we are prepared to summon the Demon of Rock and duel to the death for musical supremacy. Now you can purchase one of these fine Electronic Rock Guitar Shirts and get a little wearable ROCK magic for yourself. The Electronic Guitar Shirt is not a toy that plays pre-canned musical riffs, it is a real musical instrument that allows you to play your favorite songs and sound great doing it. All major chords are recorded from a real electric guitar, and the included magnetic pick allows you to strum just like you would a real guitar. The included mini amp clips to your belt and gets plenty loud with great sounding amplification circuitry. The tone knob on the amp lets you adjust the sound just like a real guitar. |
