    I have a Mustaine KV Pro whose action is VERY high towards the 12th fret, but it's fine towards the ends of the neck. If I lower the any lower, the strings get buzzy throughout the neck. Any ideas? Kahlers are a pain in the ass... [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

    Too much frontbow perhaps? Tighten the truss rod a smidge if this is the case. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

        Got a photo of it? Do you mean it looks like a Fender bullet-style truss rod? If so, I use the tool on the very far right of this picture to adjust mine.

              Ace? Yeah, I have one, but you can't have mine!! I need it!! One piece of quick info, the Fender "bullet" truss rod is an Allen wrench nut, not a socket nut, like a Jackson nut.

                So a Fender bullet truss rod = Allen wrench nut, so you'd use the tool on the very far right of my previous picture.

                Fender bullet truss rod:


                And a Jackson truss rod = socket nut, so you'd use the second tool to the right on the previous picture I posted.

                Glad to finally know the proper terms for them. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

                    Wouldn't it be the other way around?

                      There are Jacksons and Charvels with both kinds of truss rod. I used to have only the one that needs the allen wrench, but have come across the socket type now.
