Truss Rod Adjustments for Breedlove Atlas, Passport and
Cascade Series Guitars
To adjust the double-action truss rod on a
Atlas or Passport Series instrument, you will
need a 4mm Allen wrench (included). The
truss rod adjustment nut is located inside
the soundhole, just under the end of the
fingerboard, and accessible via a hole
in the brace at that location. Make
adjustments by turning the wrench in the
appropriate direction. Keep the wrench
between 10 and 2 o'clock, and reposition the
wrench as necessary. You may find it helpful to spread the D
and G strings apart while turning the wrench.
Truss Rod Adjustments for Guitars (Pre-2000)
To adjust the single-action truss rod on a U.S.
Custom Shop Breedlove that was built prior
to 2000, remove the truss rod cover (on the
headstock face, just above the nut). Then, using
a ¼" nut driver, turn the brass nut on the end
of the truss rod (clockwise to tighten rod and
pull the neck back, counterclockwise to loosen
the rod and allow the strings to pull the neck
up. Use a driver extender to ensure that the
driver is well clear of the headstock as the
tool is turned.
