I'm afraid it was left in the closet with the strings tight, and over time it just pulled the neck out of place. If so, I take it the truss rod won't really help me any. :(

If not, leave the truss rod alone.

I'm just starting to learn all about guitars, and I heard a little about something called a truss rod that could be adjusted. At first it looked like my guitar didn't have a truss rod adjuster, but then I found what looks like an adjuster at the top of the neck.

Is that adjustment what needs to be done, or is there something I'm missing? If that's what I need, how do I know which way to turn it to make the correct adjustment?

Thanks!]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance buddingguitarist https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/lower-the-action-on-an-old-yamaha-fg-75/#post-47331
