  • Shipping a neck with the truss rod fully slack?

    Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Will it cause permanent relief in the neck if I ship a neck fully loosened like the buyer wants?

          i usually just loosen the string 1/2 a step to remove the tension....seems a bit extreme to loosen the truss all the waay.

            I wouldn't touch the rod. If there is no rod tension and it goes through a couple of different temperatures, it can do some funky stuff.

              Newc, did you mean a neck or a whole guitar?

              I agree with Jim. I wouldn't touch it.

                Same here,loosening the truss-rod is totally unnecessary when shipping a neck & Jim is absolutely right,if that neck goes thru temp extremes it can move.....alot!!
