Hi Len,

What Kerry said....

Also, on the off chance it's a double acting truss rod, it's adjustable in both directions.

I've run across a couple d/a rods that have a couple turns of crossover slack in the middle of its range when adjusting from tighter to loose and vice versa. I first thought the rod was snapped but it soon started doing it's thing correctly.

There's no truss rod info on Forrest Lee's website but you may want to e-mail them and ask if they install double acting rods.

Best of luck :)

Thanks Paul , I have e mailled them but I decided to just try it , and it works backwards , turning clockwise allowed it to bow , maybe he just installed it upside down ? Thanks for your reply
