fixing a jammed truss rod

phaeton

well, now that i have no tech i need to fix my strats jammed rod.

the neck is bowed up enough that its not so playable and ive tightened the nut till it wont tighten anymore.

for this do i just destring, remove the headstock plug and just undo the nut till it comes out then put it back on again?

or do you have to do the washer thing?

Pheaton, you may have experience adjusting truss rods and could make your adjustment with a bit of sound technical advice. But I've been told several times to be very careful foolin around with truss rods...maybe if you're patient just a while you'll find another luthier you can trust.
