How to adjust truss rod

[kokz]

How do I adjust the truss rod? Want to change string gauges from 0.10 to 0.11 but dont want neck to warp...thanks in advance.

Adjust the truss rod by turning the truss rod clockwise or counter-clockwise. You can refer here. Be careful when tightening. Over-tightening will damage the truss rod.

To change to a different gauge, you have to make adjustments to the saddles and springs if your guitar has any.

try on a cheap guitar first if you attempt to do it for the first time. I broke my acoustic guitar's neck on my first attempt.

some contact spray might help if your guitar has never gotten it's truss rod adjusted before. depending on the situation of course.

the main thing is if your truss rod feels like it cant turn anymore, don't turn it.
