Truss Rod Adjustment (Traben Array 5)

Hey Everyone, new to this, i've got a traben array 5 and I decided that i'd like to use a lighter gauge strings as to what was the factory strings. But getting a buzz on the Open B. So i need to asjust the truss rod, never done this before so was looking for some hints/tips, what to do/avoid etc. Any help is appreciated! thanks SeanO

Which Array do you have? There are at least 4 Array
models and they have bolt on and set necks and at
least one has a 2 truss rod neck.

Inspect the neck for the amount of relief you prefer.
That is what determines if the truss rod/rods need to
be adjusted. (Not a buzz)

The buzz on the open B string would indicate that
the lighter string is loose enough to cause that.

Put some super glue in the nut groove until it rises
enough to stop the buzz.

Hey, thanks for reply, and upon further inspection I found that I didn't need to adjust the truss rod, (thank god). Also that it's a dual truss rod (which is good to know for future reference)

It's this model here but a 5

Managed to reduce the buzz through raising action and with minimal effort really, it's not completely gone but I reckon your last wee trick should be the final push needed to get rid of the buzz
