Slightly cynical, mostly okay, completely drunk.
So I gots me a Prestige Ibanez RG652FX.
All my time with it I spent with a pretty straight neck, low action, ya know, the shred setup. But recently I've been reducing string gauge and picking hard. Way more fret buzz. No problem, I thought. I'll raise the action and increase the relief and boom, done.
Except when I tried to loosen the truss rod to let the neck bow forward a bit, the "nut" on the end of the truss rod just....came off? This is a bullet end style truss rod. Turns out the bullet end is just screwed on to the truss rod. When I loosen it as much as it'll go, the neck is still quite straight.
What am I looking at? Do these guitars have single action truss rods and I just didn't know?
