  • What will happen if I unscrew the truss rod nut from a Pro Mod neck?

    Hi All,

    I'm looking into replacing the truss rod screw on a Charvel Pro Mod neck for a wheel nut from Stew Mac:

    Problem is that I don't know what happens when I unscrew the exisiting one..Will I be able to screw it back after taking it off? What will the fretboard do without a truss rod?

    And I know I'll have to router the body and cut a space for it at the end of the fretboard...

    The Charvel Snakeskin model has this mod:

    Nothing will happen. The neck would bend a lot with no truss rod and string tension on it but you won't have it strung up. As long as the adjuster nut fits on the rod, you'll be fine.

      Ever see the movie "Knowing"? That's what'll happen.
