    Thumbs up Defective neck!

    I purchased the Pit Bull Guitars LP-1SP Electric Guitar Kit (bolt-on neck) (P-90 Pickups) on May 14th, 2017 thru Ebay. After spending many long hours building & customizing this guitar, I finally arrived to the end of this build. But I have discovered a very huge problem when I got to the final set up of the neck. The trust rod inside the neck is installed upside down! As you know or should know, the trust rod is adjusted to counter act the pull of the strings. The major problem is that when one tries to adjust the trust rod on this neck it pulls the neck forward instead of backwards. This makes this neck totally useless as I cannot properly adjust the action of the guitar and never will be able to.

    Hey Two beers, the truss rods should be dual action. Have you tried winding it the opposite way ?
