Gibson '67 Flying V, User Manual, Page: 5 / 35

For action at the first fret, all instruments are set at the same height. Treble
strings are cut to 1/64" and the action progresses up to 2/64" on the bass
strings. Be sure that the truss rod is properly adjusted before setting action.
Truss Rod Adjustment
All guitar necks are subject to great stress as a result of string tension, humidity
or changes in climate. Occasionally the neck may need adjustment. The truss
rod is adjustable at the headstock on electric models and through the soundhole
of acoustic models, using an allen wrench or an adjustment wrench.
NOTE: This adjustment should be performed periodically and only by qualified repair
personnel. Over-adjustment can result in damage to the instrument and will not be
covered under warranty.
