My Electric XII has developed a slight bow in the neck and I decided to try and adjust the truss rod upon restringing. The rod has about 1/2 turn clockwise before it tightens to a point where it's difficult to turn anymore. I tried to back off on it a little and the nut portion just loosened and came out easily as I turned it ccw. Is this normal? I thought I would just retighten the nut into the neck, restring it and see what happens. The tightening action seemed to put a very slight prestress in the neck which I think would then straighten back out when restrung. Has anyone experienced anything like this? If I needed one, is a new neck available anywhere?

Welcome to the Forum.

Without actually having the guitar in my hands, I recommend taking to a Tech to have it checked out.
