Speaking of truss rods

Richard (errant_jedi) - 09 Oct 2002 16:36:19

I've never messed with the truss rod on any of my
instruments. I've always been told flat out, "Don't
mess with it." But, if you got a little buzzing here
or there everyone always says, "Your truss rod needs
adjusting." But I'm not supposed to touch it...nasty
little Catch 22 there, but anyway my questions is just
exactly to what degree should the rod be adjusted? Is
there any way of determining, like depending on where
your strings are buzzing, which way to turn it? I've
noticed a little bit of buzzing at the fourth and
fifth frets on my A-string, and a friend of mine that
picked up my guitar told me I had something "killing
(my) sustain" near the bottom of the neck, whatever
that means. Anybody got any advice?
