A simple guitar tip on how to adjust the truss rod of a Taylor acoustic guitar. I showed the most important tool to use, the 1/4" truss rod wrench which is 6.35 mm and NOT 6.5mm. This procedure is essential in guitar setup.

Hello Edwin, thanks for the nice video. I have gotten a lot of help from you in regards with my Martin. I just traded it in to get a Taylor 114ce. Edwin, what a difference in the action, I have arthritis in my fingers as well as them being small. I really was struggling with the Martin. I have to change the strings though, they are 13s..I am going down to 11s, so I will have to adjust the neck a little. I like the sound of my Taylor better than the Martin, although the Martin had a little deeper sound, but play ability of the Taylor is the difference between night and day. Edwin, which do you like better. Thank you for your videos, they make things easier. DAVID

@Edwin-E 3 жыл бұрын

Congrats on your new guitar. And thanks for a very nice comment here. You are right about Taylor neck, it is really comfortable to play. I cannot decide between Martin and Taylor because I like them both. It really depends on my mood which one I would like to play and which guitar better suits with the song I am playing.

Hello there. My Taylor is a model 110-GB. It's always had high action since new, so not pleasant to play (so I don't play it!). I just took it out, and am going to adjust the truss rod. The adjusting nut on this model is on the end of the neck inside of the sound hole. I'll guess the process is the same as the head stock end adjustment, but wanted to check out your video. Thank you. ...beautiful playing.

Taylor has its distinct bright tone. I don't know about string buzz you mentioned. If it is setup properly then, it should be ok. And also depends on your playing style. If you strum so hard, then you need a bit higher string action.

Hey bro, what do I do If I want to lower the action on my 814ce but there is no bowing present? Can I still lower the action by tightening the truss rod and not have any buzzing or cause any reverse bowing? Thanks!

@Edwin-E 3 жыл бұрын

If the neck is already straight, then tightening the truss rod will cause reverse bowing which will cause fret buzz on the lower frets. If the action is too high, then probably needs a neck reset. Refer to my other video where I tried doing it. I recommend you contact an authorized Taylor service center if this needs to be done. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rLFmhZOrzLTNYJs.html

I have an old aria acoustic guitar. When i remove the truss rod cover all I see is a regular nut that is at the bottom of the rod with some threads exposed. There is no eggcorn or bullet in front of it. There is no possible way to fit a socket in to tighten it since there is no clearance in front of the rod because the wood head stock is in front of it. It can probably be accessed with a open ended wrench. I need to straighten the neck. it has a bow in it and the strings are pretty high from the fret board. Any input?

The purpose of Truss Rod Adjustment is to keep the strings as low as possible without buzzing when played relatively hard. I am saying relatively because it depend to the play style of each guitar player.

If the nut is too hard to tight wouldn't be safer to loose the strings first?

which screws did you remove? Are these 3 screws for truss rod cover? I guess someone glued to cover then.

Your Taylor sounds great. Is that a 614? Why are Taylor guitars so bright. Every time I buy a Taylor I can't get it on EBay fast enough to go buy a Martin or Gibson.
