How do you adjust an Ibanez truss rod?
To adjust the truss rod, locate the truss rod nut and adjust it by inserting the correct wrench into the nut and tightening (clockwise) or loosening (counter clockwise) the rod.
Which way do you turn truss rod to lower action?
To add relief to the neck, you'll want to loosen the truss rod or turn the truss rod nut counter-clockwise. To reduce the amount of relief and make your guitar a little easier to play, you'll want to tighten the truss rod or turn the truss rod nut clockwise.
Can you adjust truss rod with strings on?
You can adjust the truss either way, with the strings tuned to pitch or downtuned. Just be sure to retune it to the correct pitch once you make the adjustment. Also, put a drop or two of some light machine oil onto the threads where you'll be turning the truss.
