Re: [SurfGuitar101] Re: another 399 Jazzmaster review

Because heavier gage strings increase the pull on the top of the neck creating a
more pronounced bow, the truss rod must be tightened to counteract the pull and
result in less of a bow. The truss rod does this by pulling on the back of the
neck. This brings the action back to where it was with the lighter gage
strings.
