Bowed Mustang.

Sign in to disble this ad
Ive had my Fender Mustang for about a year now and i never noticed till about a month or so ago that the neck has bowed. Since this time i have repeatedly tried to adjust the truss rod and i can see next to no difference. It has moved but only slightly. The adjustment bolt has become very loss and feels like no differnece is being made with every turn. At this time i have no money to spend on a set up as it will cost me £50 from my nearest guitar shop. Has anyone got any suggestions n how to fix it?

Edit: I keep it in my bedroom which get very hot at times but i take it out alot due to college and giging.

Sounds like the truss rod has been stripped. That's not an easy fix. I'm not sure you have much of a choice other than to bring it to a repair shop.
