I'd be trying the "steady as she goes" method. Just slight back and forth wiggling, whilst pushing back in. It may even have to come out a bit further before going back in to it's proper spot. The biggest issue's gonna be keeping it there once you get it back in the right position.Originally Posted by stan
I think it's just excited to have some colour on it.
How much tension is on the rod at the moment? Have you made any tweaks to it, like doing a fret level or anything, recently? If you hold the neck vertically with the headstock up and the tension off, a few gentle taps upwards on the butt of the heel with a mallet could coax it back into place.
Scott.
yeah Stan just tap it in slowly, even tap the top of the headstock lightly to give the whole rod bit of a jolt, I've had this happen and luckily the rod tapped in pretty easily. Don't use too much force. Think once you get it in place it should stay there.
Looks like from that photo the truss rod got excited, must have seen another nioce axe nearby hahah

the rod on my Black junior did that. It'll be sloppy up until you do a string relief on it. On mine it pushed back easily.

So she wanted purple, so it gets purple.
Sanded back the coffee stain, but just to knock down the grain, most of the colour stayed on. Then with a mix of red and blue printer ink, the purple stain is made:

How purples that? None more purple.
Looks good Stan.
Wow that deep purple looks amazing (see what I did there
For some things, some times, it's the same time all over the world, and I think we know what time that is...
I could almost see the smoke on the water from my place from that red hot post:^)Wow that deep purple looks amazing (see what I did there
