2. Truss rod - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truss_rod

   Truss rods are frequently made out of steel, though graphite and other materials are sometimes used.. The truss rod can be adjusted to compensate for expansion or contraction in the neck wood due to changes in humidity or temperature, or to compensate for changes in the tension of the strings (the thicker the guitar string, the higher its tension when tuned to correct pitch) or using different ...

3. Action (music) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Action_(music)

   On a typical steel string acoustic guitar, for example, the action is adjusted by carefully sanding the guitar's saddle so that the strings sit closer to the fretboard. [1] The action on a guitar is also slightly affected by the adjustment of the truss rod. Tightening the truss rod bends the neck backwards, lowering the action—and loosening ...

4. Guitar tech - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guitar_tech

   A guitar tech is often a "jack of all trades," expected to make simple repairs: resolder a loose wiring connection inside a guitar, replace an amplifier tube, swap out a damaged speaker for a new one, reglue a loose part on an acoustic guitar, or adjust a truss rod. In cases where there is either not enough time to make the repair, or if the ...

5. Guitar - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guitar

   Turning the truss rod counter-clockwise loosens it, allowing string tension to act on the neck and creating a forward bow. Adjusting the truss rod affects the intonation of a guitar as well as the height of the strings from the fingerboard, called the action.

6. Relief (music) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relief_(music)

   Some guitars, such as certain older Guild 12-strings, have two parallel truss rods. Turning the truss rod screw changes the tension of the truss rod, and thus the relief. Novice players should not attempt this, as the guitar neck can easily be damaged or broken. As the wood of the guitar neck is affected by temperature and humidity (weather and ...

7. Rickenbacker 330 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rickenbacker_330

   The guitar is associated by many players with the jangle-rock sounds of bands from the 1960s and 1980s. The instrument incorporates many features standard on Rickenbacker guitars, including a three-ply maple/walnut neck, a shallow headstock angle, and a thick rosewood fretboard finished with clear conversion varnish. The 330 also features a ...

8. Fender Telecaster - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fender_Telecaster

   The American Elite Tele uses a double action truss rod adjustment wheel located under the last fret instead of the truss rod adjustment on the headstock. Other changes include a new neck heel contour design, 9"-14" compound fretboard radius, and compound neck shape (neck shape changes from C to D from top to bottom).

9. Bolt-on neck - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolt-on_neck

   One particular example of a bolt-on neck using an actual bolt is Brian May's homemade Red Special, which uses a single bolt held in place by the guitar's truss rod and secured with a nut on the rear of the body. [3] An acoustic guitar bolt-on neck popularized by Taylor Guitars includes threaded inserts in the heel of the neck. Bolts inserted ...
