Yeah, that probably would have been a good idea, but the guy is vacationing in Hawaii for 3 weeks. Apparently guitar making is pretty lucrative.

I tried to call him again, but didn't get through. I loosened up the truss rod probably about one full turn. The E and A strings seem ok, but the D and G are still buzzy, especially the G.

I'm wondering if I should loosen some more, or if I should let the wood settle/adjust for a while. Guess I'm not sure if the effect should be immediate or if it takes a while.

Any thoughts on that?

I'm not too worried about screwing up my guitar. It was pretty cheap, and now that's I've been playing for a little bit and really like it, I'm going to buy a nicer one soon. Plus, it's probably a good thing to learn.

Thanks,
