My old Grason guitar is having a high action.

Does it have a truss rod?

Truss rod is the hole below the fret board or ?

It supports the whole fretboard...
generally u will see a screw beneath the last fret (if u look inside sound hole)

youve got lucky.Now screw that ! i mean rotate it clockwise that should reduce some action.

 

[axes2t2]

Arre then the truss rod is not there in my Grason.

 

[Nanducob]

^lol then try lowering the bridge..

Impossible! Every guitar has a truss rod. If not under the sound hole, then it has to be near the headstock.

Hey Desmond you asked about the technique used by Baiju[motherjane guitarist]Here's one live video of him,his rendition of mile sur mera tumhara.I think he uses quick hammerons and slides and sometimes tremelo.btw The song starts @ 2:30



The guitars's body resembles an Ibanez prestige 1570?[not sure because of the fret inlays and the input for the cord is below the knobs as in the 'S' series][.the amp is a Laney lionheart l50h head.

here's an interview !

@Nandu,

I asked people on the UG forums they say that its simple distortion along with the tremolo bar, nothing special about it. The scale that he uses (probably a Harmonic minor) gives it an Indian flavour.

What if the guitar doesn't have a truss rod ?

Is there a way to decrease the action then ?

Take off saddle - rub lower end of saddle against sand paper - fit into guitar - check action - repeat from step 1 as required.

Truss rod is the hole below the fret board or ?

Look inside soundhole towards where the neck attaches to the body - if there's a hole there, thats where your truss adjustment rod goes in, else its near headstock.

 

[axes2t2]

No hole anywhere.

 

[Desmond]

No hole anywhere.

In that case, it will be near the headstock. It must be covered by a plastic cover.

Can you give a pic of your guitar?

If the truss rod hole is not under your sound hole, then it must be near the headstock under that while plastic cover over there.

 

[axes2t2]

Not over there either.

 

[Zangetsu]

Not over there either.

Then it is not a Guitar

 

[Nanducob]

Maybe they forgot to put the truss rod that time -_-

 

[Faun]

Then it is not a Guitar
