A guitar for a hard strummer

[bassman462]

I don't think they ever adjust the truss rod to change the action. All a truss rod does is correct the "bow" in the neck...either positive or negative.

um yeh they do that alot, very few people have a problem with the action at the 1st or 2nd fret, by loosening the truss the neck is bowed up and the nut goes up in reference to the bride, thus making the action at almost every fret, especially around 12, higher.

if the action is too low in the 1st 5 frets then an extreme adjustment is required

the action on my guitar was adjusted by truss rod.
