  • Truss rod adjustment question

    Just want to confirm, on a neck where the truss rod adjustment is on the heel side is it still right tightens (adds backbow) and left loosens (gives relief)? I just went to adjust the truss rod on my so cal because I went up a string gauge and it was already tightened (turned to the right) all the way. It definitely seems to need a little more backbow to it. I'm tuned to standard using size 10-46 gauge strings. Just want to make sure I don't need to turn it the other way. Normally when I've had to adjust a truss rod it's been from the headstock end.

    Right tight left to loosen. No matter where it is
    I know the old saying that the value of an opinion is generally inversely proportional to the strength with which it is held.

      That's what I was thinking but wanted to make sure before I put in a shim. Thanks!

        Indonesian stuff has the double action truss rod, pretty sad USA didn't. Don't know if the new mim or USA does?
