Does it have a truss rod for adjusting action? How wide is the nut/fret board?

Absolutely. I play a 5-string bass and it is the best tuner I have ever used. You can even use it to check the harmonics to see if they need adjusted. It will display any note that you strike fretted or open and some if it is in tune. Also it is the best mute switch I have used. No poping noise when pressing the footswitch. You will love it.

Not at all. I bought it for an 11 year old girl and ended up selling it because of the huge juggernaut style. Ended up with Yamaha APXT2. Much easier fret board for a beginner and somebody of small stature.

Yes, it has two flat head screws on the 16th fret. My guess is just additional support for the neck. They do not impede the playing or the sound. I love this guitar!

We do a free setup on all our guitars before shipping. We check and level the frets and set the action at 3.5-3.7 mm on the 6th string, 12 th fret. Let us know if we can help you with a guitar! Calido Guitars

Not perfect, but very close. I loosened the truss rod about a quarter turn, lowered the bridge a couple turns, and made a tiny adjustment on the bridge to intonate it. If you know how to do that, you can have it playing perfectly in 5 minutes. If not, watch enough youtube videos to figure it, save the $50 a guitar shop would charge you for 5 minutes of work, and it will be just fantastic.

Fretwork is ok, needed to be filed and dressed/crowned ect.. but once you do that and change the plastic nut to bone or corian/tusq, you have a good quality neck. Mind you this is not "High quality" is mediocre at best, but I build guitars for a living, so if you are handy with wood, you can accomplish anything. Neck was straight and true upon delivery, did not have to adjust it much once the rig was strung up. Made from hard rock maple and is a near perfect fit for any tele/strat. Hope this answers your question.

It's slightly curved, as very few (if any) non-classical guitars have a truly flat fretboard. The Gretch website says the G9500 has a 12" radius, which is about standard curvature for a modern steel-string acoustic. It's about the same curve as a typical Les Paul, which sits somewhere in between a Fender and a Classical guitar.

I read the second answer to say, no, there is no truss rod, I think this is common for classical guitars as the string tension is much less than for steel string. One can, as said, lower the bridge and nut (never done it to the nut as the action on the first fret is always low). The Bridge can help bring down the strings, especially at the upper frets. If you never play above the 5th fret, you'll not see any difference from lowering the bridge, I believe. I am NOT a Luther, and in fact am not even sure I spelled it correctly. Happy New Year.

The bridge is fixed, but I adjusted the truss rod slightly to improve the action. Lighter gauge strings might also help.

As the others have said, there was no setup required. I just tuned it. I am not a left-handed player, so I have not actually "played" this guitar. However, it all seemed fine to me right out of the box. The action and intonation were good.

The action is adjustable at the bridge; mine is set quite low, with no buzzing of the strings inadvertently hitting against the frets. I find this guitar extremely easy and satisfying to play.

I dont know exact measurments but I have played some pretty wide fret boards before and this guitar is not one of them. I like the size that it is. It is not to wide at all and is not hard to stretch your fingers across the fret board. Great starter guitar or practice guitar.

The set up from the factory was perfect for the OU5 that I got. Another Uke that I bought needed the fret ends polished . The neck on a ukulele isn't under the same stress as a guitar neck. Fewer strings with a lot less tension on a much shorter neck mean truss rod adjustments and bridge alterations aren't normally required. Most ukes don't even have truss rods so the saddle height is factory set for most players.

The nut width (width at the 1st fret) I believe is 1.8 inches. I also have somewhat short and chubby fingers. This guitar will be easier to play with the wider width.

I would first try adjusting the neck tension rod with the head under the plastic plate just about the nut of the fret board. I would be very reluctant to try to deepen the cuts in the nut, you'll probably end up with fret buzz. A machine shop should be able to straighten the bend of the bridge that the strings rest on. You might also research a replacement bridge system that is either adjustable or just simply lower. I was fortunate that mine cam to me pretty close to perfect. Mine has a great action. Good luck, DOC.

It has a truss rod cover, but I haven't removed it. Since it's a real Epiphone with warranty, I'm 99.9% sure it does.I've already had warranty service on it for the Fishman preamp.
