RainSong Truss Rod and Cover
I've read a few discussions on here about RainSong truss rod covers, mostly about problems with the TRC being too thick and the strings resting against it... But has anyone mentioned the TRC not sitting flat on the headstock due to the truss rod socket protruding out past the surface of the headstock? |

Maybe that's the normal design for Rainsong.
Can anyone else who owns a Rainsong confirm if this is normal or just an exception? |

Need to adjust my truss rod in my JM1000 today I will check. Can you dremel a little grove above it on the cover without going through the cover?

Put the truss rod wrench in and push down, and the truss rod socket should slide back down to a more appropriate position. I found this issue on my daughter's RainSong, just pushed it back down into the neck slot and it worked fine.

I was also going to recommend just pushing it down. It just looks like it's out further than it should be. I would push it down then tighten it ever so slightly so it stays where it should.

If not I suspect Rainsong would correct the problem if they are aware of it, you might check with them...Everything that I have read about them sounds like they are quite a stand up company! P.S. I like the "ghost strings" in your photo's...Are they called Caspers? |

Thanks guys, with a little push it did slide back down into the cavity about 3/4" or so. Ok. So i thought i knew how truss rods work, but after this, i'm not so sure! Is the whole truss rod moving up and down the neck?

Hey, some prefer six-string guitars, some prefer twelve-string guitars... I happen to prefer no-string guitars. (I played air guitar for years and decided it was time to step it up a notch)

My JM1000 has a Allen wrench socket well into the neck, totally different.
