which way do I move my ROD!!


Finally got round to putting on my new posts on my Jem 77fp 2001. It's been in It's case for around 6 months while I get back into my Yamaha Pacifica 821(love that geet). But I need to bring the neck up a little and can never remember which way to turn the rod(otaku help!) But I really really have missed playing me Jem, going to town on it as I write

Righty-tighty, lefty-loosey.

Tightening the truss rod puts back bow on the neck. Loosening it allows it to bow forward under string tension. Never do more than about 1/4 turn at a time, then let it settle for about an hour before making additional adjustments, if necessary.
