Hi,everyone! =)
I have a problem with my guitar Epiphone Special II
I bought it about 3 years ago,sold about $200.
I think there is trouble with the truss rod.It make the 'action' of my
Guitar is bad,about 5mm.
It's unconfortable for me.
What I have to do?
If I go to the Lutheran, I think it just wasting money and time
Because my guitar is made in China.China product..you know?
So, what I have to do?>>

Good Morning,
I am sorry that you are having problems. I think having a specialist/Luther
look at it is what you need to do. There are a lot of reasons your action
can be high and you could cause a real problem if you try to fix the wrong
thing. No real Luther will hold it against you that your guitar is made in
China. (A lot of nice instruments are made there, some very expensive)

The only problem you could run into is if fixing the instrument would cost
more then the instrument is worth. This happened to us with my husbands
violin. He took it in to get the action adjusted and the Luther refused. He
showed David all of the reasons the violin was messed up and advised him to
take the price of fixing it and get a different instrument. There was no
charge for the advice and I got David a better instrument for Christmas.
(This same Luther adjusted his friend's violin, praised it and was fully
aware that it had also come from China.)


(I am not suggesting that your guitar is not a nice instrument,I know
nothing about this particular brand, only sharing experiences with China
made instruments and Luther s.)

Good luck to you.
