I took my warmoth teak strat neck w/ ebony fretboard off of my tele body and decided to follow the instructions to reset the side adjust for the truss rod so that I could store it away safely for the winter and use it next year on another project.
I loosened the heel adjust per the instructions, then I tightened down the side adjust (again, as per instructions), and it was at that time that I heard a "pop". The side adjust allen screw snapped right off and fell out!
I'm sitting here almost in tears, because this is a beautiful teak strat neck, with a really cool ebony fretboard, stainless steel frets-- the works. Have I absolutely ruined this neck? Is there any way to have Warmoth take what's left of the old side adjust screw out and put a new one in?
The neck is only about 16 months old--- just old enough to be out of warranty.
All I was doing was following the instructions for resetting the side adjust-- I never expected the side adjust to break! Is this neck completely ruined, or is there a way this can be fixed?
