TLDR I got ripped off and searching for a solution
Hi all, My friends bought me two months ago this km7 mkii from Facebook marketplace and didn't fully checked with the seller that everything was intact.
I only received the guitar recently, which was sitting in a case and it buzzed due to low action, so I wanted to add a little relief. When I looked on the trussrod wheel I saw it was completely loose, so I took it to a guitar tech for a checkup before I even started doing anything to the trussrod.
He took out the neck pickup and we found the wheel is *broken*. He told me that the trussrod itself doesn't seems to be broken but the wheel is and the solution is nonetheless, replacing the entire truss rod, which is a much more expensive job than what I paid for the guitar.
I am intended to use this as a practice guitar and not do the whole replace, but since the only broken part is the adjustment wheel itself, I thought maybe I can glue (with strong epoxy or something else) or solder it to the truss rod somehow so I can do a little relief. Has someone ever encountered that???
I got scammed hard on that, but I don't want to give up and rescue whatever I can.
