What kind of truss rod route are you all using? I used a curved route on my last build, but it was a bass. I'm getting ready to do two LP JR necks and I'm thinking I'll do the same on them. I have some vintage style 1 way truss rods and the necks are ...

I'm not an expert in this kind of thing, but I am able to adjust the relief on most of my basses except my CIJ fender P. In order to get to the truss rod I need to remove the neck. How is this usually done? Do I take off the strings and remove it completely...

It's much easier to just adjust the truss rod while the strings are tuned to pitch to the truss rod.
