Ha ha :) yes you are right, it is just an adjustment. I'm on a learning curve and have benifitted from the knowledge of TB members. I should not have used the word 'repair' in the thread title. Thanks for the info, it's provided me with some confidence in buying this guitar.

That's great stuff to hear Al, glad your AV is still going strong, they're beautiful guitars. The weather does indeed change down here, which may be the root cause. Hearing these comments has made me aware that the reason I haven't had to perform TR adjustments in the past is more due to my...

That makes perfect sence Sartori, much obliged

Hi all, Has anyone had any positive/negative experiences with the Damien 4? here's the link to the model Invalid Link Removed I tried one yesterday and loved it, though the model I tried was a discounted ex rental, and carried significant fret buzz, the guitar tech at the store said he...

Ok thanks IngerAlb I do plan to use it in a band, I've recently made the switch from guitar to bass (which i'm absolutely loving btw) so my ignorance of guitar maintenance is on par with my ignorance of bass sound I actually thought it sounded quite full, but having heard of your...

I think I understand the difference; A routine adjustment is made by adjusting the tension of the TR with an alum key Repair of a failed TR would involve the removal of the TR and either restoring it or replacing it with a new one Please correct me if i'm wrong I believe the guitar...

Thanks DTF, I'm glad to hear its nothing serious, I'll look into learning how to do it, I've got an old bass which could be good to experiment on I'm pretty sure it's the former, Billy... To be honest, I didn't realise it was done with an allen key, it actually makes sense to me now...

Thank you for your frank and informative post FretlessMainly I apologise for being vague, my lack of knowledge on guitar 'repairs' is to blame, and also the reason i'm seeking advice I'm certain the TR is not being replaced, but rather - adjusted. I was under the impression that this...

Thanks for your advice Denial, I will check it out again after the adjustment I've owned guitars for 17 odd years but have not had TR adjustment made in the past, what I'm learning here is that it is not something to be concerned about? Is the guitar likely to return to its optimum...

Thanks for you sharing your advice Darkstorm, Ric5 and SSCBA Sorry if I was a bit vague in describing the 'repairs' I think Darkstorm and SSCBA's description of the TR being adjusted is more on point The guitar is an ex rental, and the guitar tech explained the fret buzz as being...

Much thanks for the feedback Aspidites and Sam I hear what you're are saying and appreciate the advice I was hoping to hear the opposite, because apart from the fret buzz, I love this bass They are asking $670, it retails new for $1,100 here (approx $US) I realise this sounds obscene...

Hi all, I'm hoping to hear some experiences with guitars which have had their truss rods serviced due to fret buzz I'm smitten with an ex-rental Schecter Damien 4, here's a link to the model Invalid Link Removed My only qualm was with the fret buzz, mainly on the lower frets The...
