But im a novice so im going to get slated now lol.
If anyone does ever try to adjust the truss rod do your reaserch first and only make tiny adjustment and wait till the next day to see if the neck has moved futher. Mine wasnt spot on when I did it but the anoying buzz had gone and the neak was almost true. when I checked it the next day it was spot on. So small adjustments.

That kinda makes me think. I've never had to deal with any of my truss rods before. Is the process that complicated?
