Oh my my... I am getting into some interesting and uncharted waters. I have a lovely little M-20 from 1965 at home for a three day inspection. The guitar has been fully restored (according to seller who is trustworthy). It has had a neck reset, new bridge, new bridge plate, bone nut, bone saddle. It plays beautifully and sounds wonderful, and we are bonding nicely. The action is a tad higher than I want it, so I am planning to get it set up once I'm the official owner. I've got a question out to the seller about the truss rod, to make sure it functions properly before I buy. This guitar has the truss rod access on the head stock, which is new for me. My other guitars, both Yamahas, have the access through the sound hold at the bottom of neck. The M-20 does not come with a truss rod wrench or any accessories. It's just the guitar. WYSIWYG.
When a guitar has a neck reset, does it affect the truss rod function? How would I know if the truss rod is working properly? What do I need to know about truss rods in vintage M-20s in general. (Lay person terms please, I'm not a techie, but obviously with this question, I am well on my way to becoming an official "Guild Geek."
Thanks in advance for any input. Really appreciate it.
