is it possible to fix an out of line truss rod? and how easy would it be to glue the fingerboard back onto the guitar? it came off due to an overwound truss rod
It's possible to fix it all. It's just what is the cost?Anything made by man can either be repaired or replicated and rebuilt by man. Even the pyramids LOL
Davery, the little switch by itself controls tone and here is the cool thing, it turns the guitar completely off in the middle position. If you listen to old rockers, they could get some serious high powered sustain going and then rhythmically turn the guitar on and off to create some interesting musical effects. This guitar was way ahead of its time. Try and find the right pic guard for it or get rid of that piece of junk guard it has.

Sad when someone lets a great instrument fall into that condition. Keep us posted on this one, I reckon it's going to drive you slowly nuts!
