Warwick 5 string broken truss rod.

[Len Biglin]

Hi Guys , I have just had the pleasure of that dreaded "clunk" when the nut shears off the truss rod . Its a Warwick 5 string and lefty as well . The nut does not want to come out , does anyone have experience with these ? thanks Len

"If you rotate through the long axis from front horizontal to front vertical there is an appreciable change in the tuning which must be down to sag in the neck"

What? Are you saying the neck has a twist?

[Dave Yelverton]

No. But if you rotate the whole guitar the neck seems to sag downwards under its own weight and affect the tuning, i.e. a floppy neck!

Yep, I see what you mean. One day, I measured the flex at the headstock of one of these 4 string Corvette Std when removing the strings : near 20mm.

You're right Russell. I'm still too shy sometimes (Maybe when I'll have you experience?) when a customer wants to "keep it vintage" like this 70's Stingray neck.
