Do you store your guitar strings loose?

Do you store them without loosening them?

In conclusion, first of all, how much extra truss rod do you have on your guitar at the moment? Please check.

To be precise, the first step is to determine the state of being well adjusted.

The range within which the truss rod can be adjusted should be determined as the range within which the neck warp can be corrected.

If the range is too narrow, it may not be possible to correct the warp in the future, and the life of the guitar will be shortened.

Assuming that the adjustment was done properly, to what extent can the truss rod be tightened from this state? Please check by turning the truss rod.

Turning the truss rod will not break it. If it does break, it is due to a manufacturing error on the part of the manufacturer, not because it broke.

At this point, if the extra amount is too small, the condition will quickly reach its limit.

However, there are many such instruments. If the truss rod excess is small, the strings must be loosened.

On the other hand, if the excess is too large, especially if it is close to 100%, it is acceptable to leave the strings on only in this case, since reverse warping is a problem.

This is the correct way to judge. Should I loosen or not loosen the strings? This is the correct way to decide whether to loosen or not loosen the strings.

If you loosen the strings and they are inverted, this is a good thing.

If it warps back, the truss rod will have to be loosened, and as a result, the truss rod will be closer to its normal state.

An instrument with only a small amount of truss rod remaining will be difficult to keep in service for a long time unless you keep the strings loose and aim for reverse warping.

This is the way to ensure the longevity of your treasured instrument.
