If the neck is back bowed, loosen the truss rod only one eighth of a turn. Sight down the neck to verify that it has become straight. If not, re-adjust again, by loosening the truss rod by another one eighth of a turn. Wait a few days before you decide if it should be re-adjusted, let the neck settle in. (If you over adjust, correct it immediately) Remember when you make these adjustments, the instrument will have to be retuned to pitch each time. Your floyd will have to be re-adjusted for level and re-intonated.
