This is absolutely brilliant, about the truss rod. I just got one of these things, a Supro Dual-Tone which looks very much like the one in the photo. And it has the exact same situation, with the low E-string almost hanging off. I will do this. I had no idea. I wonder how you could repair a stripped screw, but I haven't even looked yet. Maybe I'll have to drill it out, but I hope not. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Another "quick question" -- would you recommend the two-knob Keeley compressor, or the four-knob one? Thank you.

I found a working 1958 Dual-Tone in a neighbors trash and I want to get it restored. It works and has had some modifications like new tuners and a new bridge. My biggest concerns are that the fretboard is pretty much separated from the neck but still in one piece and there is a crack in the wood part of the neck. But the neck is solid because of the aluminum girder. What do you experts think is it worth refurbishing or just cleaning up and hanging on a wall. Thanks in advance.

A bad repair is probably worse than no repair, so it could go on the wall! That said, it would be a pity not to mend if it can be brought back to life.

It will be worth more in bits than in one piece with a bad epoxy job on the neck.
