<p>Hi David.</p>
<p>You'd want to loosen the truss rod's tension in this situation so...righty tighty/lefty loosey.</p>
<p>I seriously encourage you to get Dan Erlewine's repair book. If you already have a copy; I encourage you to read it as it's filled with Guitar Repair 101 questions like the one you just asked. It may not be the end-all/be-all reference on basic repairs, but it's unarguably the best one currently available.</p>

<p>Thanks for the responses. What way do I turn the nut once it is epoxied in place? Customer decided not to deal with it right now. So any conversation is just that:)</p>

<p>I just got a schecter guitar in for a setup and the nut was/is the same way. The only issue is that this is a welded nut two way design. The customer said that he never had it adjusted before so this either happened at the factory or the store where it was purchased. I put some penetration oil to loosen up the threads because even the gripper wouldn't move it.

<p>I just got a schecter guitar in for a setup and the nut was/is the same way. The only issue is that this is a welded nut two way design.

I put some penetration oil to loosen up the threads because even the gripper wouldn't move it. In the end I had to ruin my 4mm gripper truss rod wrench by grinding the tapered portion shorted because it was bottoming out in the nut. I have the rod moving and was able to complete the setup. I'm now using the epoxy method to try and regain some grip for future adjustments.</p> http://fretsnet.ning.com/foru…tag:fretsnet.ning.com,2013-04-04:2177249:Comment:1068212013-04-04T02:41:33.561ZPaul Verticchiohttp://fretsnet.ning.com/profile/PaulVerticchio
