I've tried searching to find answers to my specific questions, but haven't turned up anything.
Anyway, the neck on my Kentucky 250S has been warping lately, and a few weeks ago I put maybe a turn or less on the truss rod to straighten it out. Well, either it's bending again or the difference was enough at the time, but I need to adjust the truss rod again today.
The last time I adjusted it, I left the "nut" at a weird spot so it's hard to get an allen wrench seated properly in it. But even if I can get the wrench in, turning it doesn't seem to do anything. I know not to expect too much from a mando of this quality, but could the truss rod really be maxed out after less than a turn?
Also, I noticed a small crack (possibly) in the binding on the treble side of the neck, in the middle of the fifth fret. It could've been there for a while and I just didn't notice, but would trying to turn a maxed truss rod cause damage like that?
Thanks ahead of time for the help, this is driving me nuts.
