Adjusting the neck relief

A neck with a light bow leaves more room for the vibrations of
the strings. Any adjustment made only applies for the set of
strings that is fitted at the moment the truss rod is adjusted as it
compensates exactly the pull exerted by a particular set of strings
and keeps the neck bow within certain limits. Any later change of
the string gauge also calls for a readjustment of the neck bow.
However, before you embark on adjusting the neck relief, tune
the guitar and then put it away and leave it to “work” overnight:
the pull of the strings will take some time to become effective.
Then retune the guitar and place a straight edge over the first 13
frets, holding the guitar in the playing position. It is important to
hold the guitar and not to have it lying flat on a surface as the
weight of the neck alone would already lead to distortions in
adjustment. If you place a capo on the first fret, you will have one
hand free for checking the straightness with a feeler gauge (1). If
you press down a string after the 12th fret, it is dead straight and
can be used in place of a straight edge to check the straightness
of the neck. The recommended distance (neck relief) between
the top of the sixth fret and the bottom of the straight edge or
string depends on the scale length and the string gauge. Shorter
scale lengths and thinner strings produce less strong vibrations
while long scales and bass strings require more room for vibrating.
Guitars can have a relief of 0.25 to 0.3mm (0.01" - 0.013");
0.5mm (0.02") is recommended for basses. The neck bow can be
rough-adjusted by pressing down a string at the 1st and 13th fret
and by tapping it with a finger at the 6th fret and then making any
adjustment that may be necessary. Always loosen the strings
before turning the truss rod nut. Adjust the truss rod so that the
distance is right: turning the adjustment nut in a clockwise
direction gives the neck a backbow and reduces this distance; if
the distance between the strings and the frets is too small, the
adjustment nut has to be untightened by turning it in an anticlockwise
direction. Never turn the nut by more than a quarter of
a turn at a time. After each truss rod adjustment the strings have
to be retuned and the full pull of the strings has to be reestablished.
The neck bow may change in the course of the other
adjustments yet to be made and described below; it may therefore
be necessary to carry out the above adjustment procedure
several times. But once the guitar is completely set up and the
neck relief is right no further adjustments are needed and the
truss rod is best left untouched. The truss rod will only require
readjusting when strings of a different gauge are fitted on the
guitar. And finally: the truss rod must never be used for setting
the action – its only purpose is to adjust neck relief.
