Thanks guys, and especially big heartfelt thanks to godofthunder for your generous offer, even if there is an Atlantic ocean in the way
I'm gonna give it a go,
Ive never had cause to mess with a truss rod before so any glaring do's and don'ts?
I am guessing that I have to loosen it up as at the moment it's pulling the peg head towards the body by the width of the (missing) nut
should I count the number of turns I loosen it and tighten it up by that much again at the end? I guess my learning curve is gonna include how to set up a neck with the truss rod
Also the fretboard has come away down to about the 4th fret, should I attempt to remove it, fix the neck then reglue it? or just do the whole thing in one go
