G&L Tribute truss rod at max

[lpstd]

I acquired a used Tribute 2000 and it turns out the truss rod was adjusted to max tightness (can be easily loosened) when I received it but there is still an unacceptable slight bow in the neck, causing the action to have to be higher than I wish to avoid buzzing and dead spots. Anyone have a similar experience and/or a solution? I am afraid I will strip the truss rod if I attempt to tighten it further.

I just had a new neck put on my ASAT (under warranty) because of the exact same reason. Maxed the truss rod out & still had a huge bow in the neck....

I'm not real savvy about the Tribute line, but mine was one of the last bi-cut, 3 bolt necks with a birds eye fretboard.
It took 4 months at the G&L factory to get replaced & I lost the birds eye fretboard, but they did make it right.

Chris Robeson (sp?)was the guy I dealt with & he is a stand up guy.

Good luck.

Thanks for the advice, I will try to contact him.
