My first truss rod adjustment

I can't believe this was so easy. I adjusted it to lower my action and now I can play without 5 lbs. of pressure on my frets!! I had to adjust the bridge just a little too, but thanks to this forum, I have successfully lowered my action. Thanks to everyone.:)

Hey man good to hear. I thought it was really confusing to adjust a truss rod at first too haha, guitar for dummies wasn't very helpful. I've got mine adjusted rather well, a bit too much bow in the neck atm, but it's necessary seeing as i have no nut shims yet.

I remember the first time I adjusted my truss rod. It was years ago, I was so worried I'd mess up my guitar and then have to work double time to convince my dad to get my a new one. Simpler times.
