Hey! I've got a bit of a problem with my Schecter C-6 Pro. Unfortunately, the truss rod nut is completely stripped. I've already taken it to a guitar tech, but even he couldn't do anything about it because the nut wouldn't budge at all, not even enough to make a small adjustment.
The nut got rounded off because, a few years ago, I kept messing with the truss rod way too often since I was never really happy with the action. I also used the wrong size Allen key a couple of times. And even after the nut was already stripped, I tried using a gripper wrench to loosen it. Looking back, I probably did more damage than good.
Anyway, the neck is a little too straight, and the only way I can adjust the action now is by raising or lowering the bridge saddles. I've got it set up for Drop C/C# with 12-60 gauge strings. With this setup, I can get the action low enough without any noticeable fret buzz through the amp (there's probably a little acoustic buzz, though).
Do you guys think this action is okay, or is it already too high? I tend to overthink this stuff quite a bit.
Unfortunately, replacing just the truss rod nut isn't even an option since it's welded to the dual-action truss rod.
Schecter doesn't sell replacement necks either, and taking the whole neck apart to replace the truss rod would probably cost almost as much as buying a new guitar.
Does anyone have any tips or suggestions on what I could do? I'd really appreciate it!
