Monday blues, literally. Playing a blue guitar on a Monday. This is a Gibson Melody Maker Flying V, reduced overall dimensions but standard Gibson scale length (24.75"). Re-string episode with some rectification bouts.
Truss rod was stiff. Tried to turn but to no avail until some WD40 was used. The neck is now straight, zero string buzz.
The tough one - stuck bridge studs. Won't budge till again some WD40 was used & gentle knocking from the sides with a hammer. The idea here was to slightly dislodge the stud threads so it won't 'stick' & allowed for rotations. Implication - these were not adjusted since day one. Strings for today - Darco 10s. That's a DiMarzio D-Sonic in there, more tone stuff in upcoming episodes.
