Re: 2000 flatiron festival f5 truss rod might need changing
I have a '99 Festival that had a similar problem. The neck wouldn't respond to truss rod adjustments. I posted on this problem here a long time ago. It turns out that the builder had sanded right through the threads on one side of the rod--they had been bevelled right off. My luthier was able to get it to work, but if I recall correctly he had to deepen the pocket on the headstock a bit where you access the end of the rod. The bevelled-off portion of the rod was on the underside and wasn't at all apparent visually. I'll try to find the old thread on this. The fix was low cost and solved the problem without having to replace the truss rod.
