Neck question

[maliciousteve]

Hey guys. On my new RG, when I play a G at the 12th fret on the G string, the string rattles against the next fret and it does this all the way up to the 24th fret. It sounds as if the truss rod is a touch too tight, Would adjusting the truss rod for a touch more relief fix this?

 

[Apophis]

Less relief will fix, not more

I knew I'd mix it up

Does any one know where I can get a truss rod key for the RG? I've looked on Allparts uk and I'm not sure which one I need as their measurements are in inches but I'm told that I need a 7mm hex wrench. I'm terrible at converting measurements.

 

[Apophis]

7mm = 0.275inch

7 millimeters = 0.275590551 inches

Just go to the hardware store and get yourself a pack of hex wrenches. They come in handy

But yours said 1.something inches


Like I said, just get yourself a set of hex wrenches, because they're handy for bridges too.

Uh, the truss rod normally doesn't effect anything that far up the neck very much. Adjust the bridge/floyd (which everone) should fix it. You might have a low cut saddle, which you could shim if the bridge radius doesn't match the neck.

I bought that exact for my dorm room about a month ago so I could adjust the truss rod on my LTD

I need one of those. It's hard to find things in inches here.
