Finally got round to putting on my new posts on my Jem 77fp 2001. It's been in It's case for around 6 months

while I get back into my Yamaha Pacifica 821(love that geet). But I need to bring the neck up a little and can never remember which way to turn the rod(otaku help!) But I really really have missed playing me Jem, going to town on it as I write

Righty-tighty, lefty-loosey.

Tightening the truss rod puts back bow on the neck. Loosening it allows it to bow forward under string tension. Never do more than about 1/4 turn at a time, then let it settle for about an hour before making additional adjustments, if necessary.

Loved Organical Darren! I'm off to Canada in September, unfortunatly It's Calgary so no chance(If there ever was any) of catching you guys live.

I'm there

Plan on checking out as much guitars as pos in between seeing family, the pound goes a long way where you are, but then so does the tax when I come back in!!

I'm looking at getting a line6 Duoverb, the Vetta is just a wee bit too dear at £1599.00
