Loosening the truss rod allows the lighter string tension to put the curve back into the neck to provide more relief (distance between strings and frets in the middle of fretboard). It's confusing sometimes. Tim is also correct about checking the relief before making ANY adjustments to the truss rod as they might not be needed. | |
