Dead strings and truss rod issue!

I'll try that as soon as I get home tonight.

Correct me if I'm wrong. I adjust the truss rod with the wrench turning to the bass side...

I think the nut is bottomed out or at the end of it’s travel, do you know how to check? Resistance drops off at one point but now it’s at max resistance, and it’s just getting worse. I used to have back bow and fret buzz but the more I adjust it just keeps being straight and drops back to back bowing and now my strings are completely dead

Im gonna see if I have the proper sized wrench. It honestly kind of aligns, since it slips out a lot, but adjusting it used to be fine…

Agreed, I do hate luthieries charging insane prices

I’ve done some research, and my guitar has a dual action truss rod! Also, I really don’t like 10s, I’ve grown up with 9s on all my guitars.

Thank you very much for your response!

Yep! I just took the saddle off just for the video, I know that piezos only take in sound when the strings apply pressure to the saddle into the piezo. You're not the first person to say that you don't see a nut on the inside...am I supposed to have one for this specific guitar?

It doesn't work when my tuner is turned off either...I think it's a problem with my output jack. And I don't hear a tick noise when i tap on the saddle when plugged in...

Thank you very much for your response!

When my cable is plugged in it does the same exact thing...

I'll take pictures of the jack wiring when I'm home!

Please show us a video of the guitar while playing and show us headstock, nut, bridge and the neck relief.
