Just don't force the truss rod to turn, you could break it. Sounds like you need to contact Thomann again. I don't know. Just wanted to make sure you didn't break your truss rod. Sorry man. Shitty luck.
I don't know if you've heard, but I think the pickups in the S8 are proprietary as far as size goes. I think you have to mod the guitar to swap with normal sized passives. Just letting you know because you mentioned being interested in getting one and doing a pup swap.

Who do you think will win it all and why? My heart is picking Louisville, and I'd like to believe my head is too. Louisville's full court press is arguably the most hectic defense in the nation, and they're shooting over 50% in the tourney so far. Any NCAA basketball fans here? Let's talk...
The whole guitar in general is pretty comfortable. I've always adapted to most neck profiles easily but had issues with the forearm contours on some guitars, so I understand your worry. My fretting hand works pretty effortlessly while my picking hand is a bitch.
I've skated on an off for like 12 years. As far as what you're getting, I've never skated a Chocolate. I have an Enjoi board right now, Tensor trucks, Ricta wheels, Lucky 7 bearings. I wouldn't recommend Independent trucks if you're doing flip tricks, etc. They're really heavy. Tensor's...

The Venus and Serena Williams skit is hilarious. ''i beat this bitch all the time.'' The huge tampon skit. LOL.
