Truss Rod Repair Question

Post by Browndog Owner »

Hello Everyone,

I have a Parker Nitefly neck whose truss rod is not working, meaning that it’s completely turned to the right to the hilt, and the neck still wont go flat. How do I repair this or does anyone know someone that can? Any and all advice welcome. Thanks in advance.

I had the same issue.
Some luthier use a hot press to backbow the neck and then tighten the truss rod. I was not competent enough to do it myself, unfortunately. Maybe some others can chime in.

Did it work? If you could DM me and tell me the name of the luthier, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks.

Sorry, I was not clear about this. The luthier in question was on YouTube. I sent my "non working" neck to someone else for their own repair and use.
