YE GODS! (not again)

[Chris Pile]

A stupid kid decided to adjust the truss rods of a Gibson Gospel and a vintage Gibson EB bass with an IMPACT WRENCH! After I repair them I will return them to HIS WIDOW!

The guitar, or the body?

Oof! I vote jail time...try him as an adult!

wow, just wow. "just needs maybe a 1/4 turn" hold on, let me grab my dewalt

Now the whole 'adjusting my truss rod will destroy my neck!' myth is probably going to start looping around again...

The guy chickened out and took his guitars to Chicago for the holidays. I guess he feared bloodshed on my part.

 

[magillver]

Definitely a wise decision on his part!

 

[Wattage]

[Chris Pile]

Maybe the dumbass will send me photos from Chicago.

I do all mine with a Milwaukee 1/2" drive. Dont want them coming loose ya know....

Honestly with the brass adjusting nuts it probably just pulled the threads off the nut....hopefully....

I like that he screwed up the first guitar and then decided to power through the second one. That's an eye for detail right there.

 

[Chris Pile]

Practice makes perfect? NOT!

He will probally they the luthier he bought them like that and ask if they are worth saving.
