| Zusammenfassung: | A stringed musical instrument has a neck having a truss rod embedded therein and a tensioning mechanism to adjust the tension of the truss bar. A truss rod is typically seated at the peghead and extends within the neck to the body of the stringed instrument. A tension adjustment mechanism may incorporate a slide assembly having a ramp that engages with an actuating screw that is accessible from the front surface of the stringed instrument. Adjustment of the screw changes the tension of the truss bar. A tension adjustment mechanism may incorporate a cam that interfaces with an actuating screw, wherein the cam interfaces with the truss bar to adjust tension. |
