UNPLANNED DOWNTIME: 12th Oct 23:45
Are all modern era Martin Truss Rods the same size..
What's Hot
Mine seems to need a very long wrench also..
Yes I know some Martins don't have an adjustable rod..
My Model is,,takes a deep breath...GPCPA4..
Had it 4 to 5 years I think..
Great and loud sounding guitar unplugged..
I think the neck has moved a touch,a tiny tweak would get it back to where it was..
It looks perfectly flat at the portion of the soundboard between the soundhole and bridge..
There maybe is a very slight dip just before the back of the bridge,,
I can feel that by finger but not see it visually,,is this normal..?
I am using Martin Lifespan 2.0 92/8 phosphor Bronze Light../Gauge 12 Strings..
What is the normal relief measurement of a Martin neck..
I measure at the 7th or 8th fret..Capo on fret one,finger at 17th..
Any advice what tool to order,,there is a hole there so I take it it has an adjustable truss rod..
Maybe I have got weaker,but I'm sure it is harder work to play as you go further up the neck from the first 4 frets..

I got one of these too..
My MIM Fender Truss Rod Hex Key is crappy..I have lots of Fender MIA ones,but I'm sure the other sizes will prove useful,
plus this is easy to find / Grab...
