So pulled my guitar out of the case to do some strumming. And felt like it was lightly outta tune even after using my regular tuner. I tilt the guitar around to inspect it and here this “knocking” sound every time I tilt upside down and back. Nothing inside the body. Do it a few more times. The knocking sounds and feels like it’s coming from the neck. I take a look inside and it looks like the truss rod nut came off where the neck meets the body. Anyone have this happen before? I’ve been keeping the guitar in the case with humidity packs. The rest of the guitar seems fine but now I’m freaking out. I registered the guitar with Martin as soon as I purchased it earlier this year. Unfortunately, I’m in Guam for work for the next six months so I’m not sure I’ll be able to get it to a good luthier any time soon. Any advice or input is welcomed and appreciated!

Here’s my new WD007Q on the premium titanium bracelet. Wrist size is around 7” ish.

The watch is crazy lightweight. Love the grab and go quartz and the size is fantastic on my wrist. Wearing the bracelet a little loose since I’m out in the sun/pool today. The only complaints I have are:

the premium strap was shipped without the spring bars so I had to go to a local shop. No biggie really.
the lume is weak and doesn’t have much longevity. Not a big deal, but it should be noted.
bezel action has some “wiggle” or back play. Lines up nicely and has a nice feel/sound when used though!

All in all, a fantastic homage that will definitely lead to me purchasing the Omega NTTD in the near future. I’ve received numerous compliments on the watch in just a few days of wearing it around the hotel I’m staying at.
