# I am not sure
but I have emailed one.

It says it has an adjustable truss rod?

Hold on, I shall take apicture.

# Aha
if the neck is warped it's just a question of turning it bit by bit with an alan key.

And I've seen your truss rob in your blog:P

# Pfft.
The problem is that it flexes as I play it sometimes.

If I really power on a chord then the body and neck seem to flex a bit and the note is bent.

As things stand this is no problem, but I do not want it to get worse.

I have a couple of other guitars, including a Fender, but this one is my favourite.

It has no distinguishing marks.

# That doesn't sound like a truss rod and if it is it must be something to so with the structural integrity of it.
May be more where the neck joins the body.

fairly useful.

# That yellow sticker inside is almost invisible with no flash
but is just a picture of a Hindu god.

I have cancelled it out with my Jesus Loves You sticker, as you can see.

# That is a big guitar no no.
Also if you don't have a stand it's best to lean them the other way round.

# I have a hanger for the Fender,
but only one.

# Just put her there for the photograph.
She lives, well on the floor, so that the children will not knock it down ;¬(

# I think it has an adjustable truss rod!:P
May do to take it for a bit of a service. Poor baby. She looks like she needs a bit of TLC.

# She has been around for a long time
and has lived in vans, caravans and tents, amongst other things.

# Best to take her in for a service.
You don't want it to be something more than the truss and going kapoowie (technical term obviously).
