Eclipse II VB - Ebony Bow Problem..
Eclipse II VB - Ebony Bow Problem..
I haven't had my Eclipse II long enough I guess kuz I haven't had to adjust the trussrod except when I first got it. If there is buzzing on the 1st 3 frets, then the neck needs some relief.
I had to adjust the neck on my Ibanez RG now and then. They are so thin and I guess a little unstable. The Eclipse isn't that thin, but on the thin side I think.
I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that it is a double-action truss rod??
Has anyone else had these issues??
I had developed a little back bow in my Eclipse. Was to be expected on a new guitar.
The rods are super sensitive. I laid a straight edge along the frets, and using a 4x eye
loop. I put just enough relief, so that I could slide a post-it through @ the 5th fret.
I had only moved the rod about 3/32 of a inch less than 3mm for you guys overseas.
In rotation. And it's been perfect ever since, that was last Nov. I live in Philly. So it's
the same climate as NY. Tiny moves, keep a close eye on your relief. And if you turn
the rod more than 1/8 of a turn ? Stop, re-tune and reset you action. before you twist
it any further.
ive had more problems with eclipses than any other guitars, its takes me hours to get the truss where i want it. Seems like no matter what there was always some type of buzz, so after acouple months i end up ditching them. I would use the fact that esp has reversable truss rods and move it back acouple turns , then wait, then try to start adjusting again
