Broke my new guitar
Well i say new guitar a 2006 Mexican telecaster with a faded sea foam green colour scene. I recorded 2 songs with it really pleased then bloody dropped it and have bent the neck. Now it sounds like shite. Buzzing after the 12th. Anyone know how to fix it something to do with trussrods. Sounds dangerous messing about with something like that

That's a drag Paul. But it doesn't sound like a complete disaster. The truss rod is easily accessible in most solid bodied electrics.
Getting it just right is the trick. I'm sure there are YouTube videos, probably even sea foam green Fender neck fix, but it may be something you'd prefer to have done professionally though.
At the very least you will need a precision straight edge, a wrench or socket, and probably some hex keys to tweak the bridge back.
I dropped my favorite sax a long time ago and even though I've been in the metal trades didn't think twice about trying to fix it. I brought it to Goldie and Libro's and it came back like the not-at-all-new, but perfectly matched aged patina sweet French Selmer with no trace of my stupidity.
But if you want to try it, give it a go. What's the worst that could happen?

Sure is i will figure it out had the same bass forever not one moment of bother in that direction. So don't have much experience in guitar repair. I did the odd intonation tuning up that was about it. The open string is as same as the 12th note string

Take the guitar to a guitar tech and get expert advice rather than trying to fix it yourself.

It,s got tex mex pickups?. And a tweed case with all the tags for the guitar. Originally sunburst someone decided to make it a relic guitar in sea foam green. Looks good played good until i messed that up.
I also found a strange Italian guitar in a junk shop. It had this weird whammy bar that worked the opposite from American guitars. It had this odd headstock. It,s from 1964. But behind all the grime and broken tailpiece you could see the quality. I got the tailpiece fixed. It was a very complicated weld because it was Brass it was retaining the right angle and retain the strength of the original.
I never did it. The tuning pegs are the problem and what spring to use in the whammy bar. Someone put in a Mini cooper valve spring. That,s what broke the tailpiece. It,s only thin brass with a chrome coating. It is a semi acoustic in the same vain as the es 335 but sunburst.
For all the guitarist,s guess the Brand for 5 points and for bonus 5 the guitar i am referring to. I will post a picture of the guitar. If you guess right. You will get top billing on Indigo Station. Never get this one

Between the ages of 12 to 66 and on a lifetime low budget, I've learned to fix a lot of my own rigs. Several years ago, I decided to start buying promising guitars and basses to fix up and sell for extra income. Turns out my wife won't let me sell them once I've finished. So now I have about 25-30 guitars sitting around in closets because the garage atmosphere would kill them. I still have my grandfather's 1934 Gibson L7.
Even though I have a lot more guitars than I need, I still want to build my "dream" guitar to my own specs. I may have it this year hopefully.
Music is a very expensive hobby. There's an old saying or adage that applies here:
To fix your problem will cost you ($100), If you worked on it first, It will cost you ($150).
Cheers,
Duane
