The fix the thread kits don't always work. I can fix it if you are so inclined. Call me at 1-772-979-2887 if you are interested. Danny Probably needs a new truss rod [I can't see it].

Do you think (my neck apparently being straight after all) that i'm o.k. i.e. not causing prolonged damage to neck/rod due to overtightening...as i said no fret outs so i don't think it's got a backbow. Thanks - Otis Hi i just used an old album 12×12 …(actually “12×5 – the rolling stones”, lol)….it’s in pretty good shape, as a 12″ straight edge…my trussrod is apparently tight and it appears with both the fretted test (just a sheet or 2 of paper thickness (at 7th fret) clearance), i hope that it is pretty straight…my action is medium – low without fret outs even on high e bends (am dlx strat 9.5 radius)….BUT (oh i got it in 2005), i went through a real truss rod obsessive compulsive period years ago and my Fender allen wrench is stripped (rounded) on both ends…so even if i wanted to i couldn’t (right now at least) adjust it…do you think the nut (it’s a bi-flex) is/could be stripped too?…seems weird that the tool would get so rounded and STILL strip the nut….if worse comes to worse i could get a gripper or tapered allen wrench….

How wide or high and how thick is it, and how long is it, and the 2 leg lengths on the ends. I thank you for your time. Dave Hunt Could you please give me the dimensions for
