Truss Rod Adjustments For U.s. Custom Shop Guitars (Except Revival) - Breedlove American Series C25/CRe Herringbone Owner's Manual

Truss Rod Adjustments for U.S. Custom
Shop Guitars
11
To adjust the single-action truss rod on a
Revival Series instrument, you will need
a round-tipped 5/32" Allen wrench
that is at least 4" long (a special Revival
Truss Rod Wrench is available from
Breedlove - please contact us for details).
The adjustment nut is located inside the
soundhole, toward the neck. It is very
close to the top of the guitar, and
right underneath the fingerboard.
Newer Revival instruments have an
access hole through the top soundhole
brace, while older instruments do not. If
you do not have an access hole, note
that one of the two neck bolts is also in
this general area. The top neck bolt can
be seen through the soundhole, while
the truss rod nut is not visible unless you
have the access hole. If you can see
your wrench going into a large bolt,
you're in the wrong place! To access
the adjustment nut, insert the wrench
into the soundhole between the D and
G strings (holding them apart can be
helpful) and point it up toward the area
described above to find the nut. Turn
clockwise to tighten the truss rod, or
counterclockwise to loosen it.
