My repair guy isn't answering the phone for 3 days now. So I thought I might mess around with the truss rod (why not?) and then, if that doesn't work, change to high tension strings and then, if that doesn't work, shim the saddle. Since it's an el cheapo, I might as well do stuff that I know absolutely nothing about & maybe I'll learn something. If I kill the patient, well... que sera sera.
The truss rod is visible through the sound hole. There is no access port to the truss rod on the head. Ergo, I gotta do it through the sound hole (I suppose that makes me a guitar proctologist). Should I screw the truss rod toward the left as I face it, or toward the right, in order to maybe reduce the buzz?

If the truss adjustment isn't the buzz issue, adjusting it will solve no problems.
Buzzing on all 6 strings... Where on the neck...?? Uniform buzzing along the neck, or more pronounced in a certain area...??
