Note: It’s a good idea to loosen the strings prior to making
any truss rod adjustment. If you don’t have feeler gauges,
don’t give up. You can approximate the gap, which is
about the thickness of a regular business card and a piece
of paper put together.

To adjust the truss rod, use the hex wrench supplied with
your instrument. If neck is too concave, turn the truss rod nut
clock-wise (Figure A). If neck is too convex, turn the truss rod
nut counter clock-wise (Figure B). Check your tuning, then
re-check the gap with the feeler gauge.
Note: Adjust in small increments of only 1/4 turn at a time,
and allow time for the wood to settle before adjusting again.
