take it to a luthier (guitar shop) and have them check it out, if thats the case they can fix it no problem. If thats not the problem then Im sure they can figure it out and fix it easily as well. I wouldnt try messing around with it yourself though unless you really know what your doing.

does anyone know if big babys come with an adjustable truss rod?

scott, one way to find that out would be to look in the soundhole up towards the fretboard, do you see a metal pole?

btw, dmbtabs, welcome to it (are we still doing this)
