- It sounds like a common bowing action. Give the truss rod an eigth of a
- turn clockwise, let it sit a while and see if that helps. Then adjust
- either way until it has only a slight bow to it. Check it by looking down
- the edge if the frets from the head. You shouldn't have to turn the truss
- rod more than a quarter turn.
