Fender 101, Owner'S Manual, Page: 28 / 40

Should the neck of your guitar require adjustment, insert the appropriate a hex truss rod adjustment wrench
through the strings and the sound hole.
(See illustration 13) . Note: The guitar should remain tuned to pitch
during this procedure.
If the neck has a concave bow (See illustration 11 ), tighten the truss rod nut by turning it clockwise. If the
neck is humped or has a convex bow (See illustration 12 ) , loosen the
truss rod nut by turning it counter clockwise.
Adjust the rod only a partial turn at a time, allow time for the wood to settle
before adjusting again, and sight down the neck after each adjustment. Be
careful not to over-tighten the rod.
If you have any doubts in your ability to make this adjustment correctly, take
your guitar to an
Authorized Fender Service Center .
Please Note: Truss rod adjustments are considered to be routine
maintenance and will not be covered under the Fender warranty.
