Standard Series Viper Truss Rod Issue

Updated

When recently setting up my ESP Standard series viper, I noticed that the truss rod seemed alot stiffer than on my gibsons. On my gibsons the truss rod is very easy to loosen or tighten, on the Esp it's quite a bit stiffer. I just wanted to know if the standard series vipers have tighter truss rods.

The truss rod still turns no problem though right? They are a little stiff, but shouldn't stop you turning it at all.

Yeah, as long as it isn't fingertight, you should be fine...

That sounds normal to me. If anything I'd be a little more concerned about the Gibsons, but I never messed with the Gibsons truss rods. I don't think theres anything to worry about. How much force are you talking about?
