What this ^^^ guy said!! It's an artists rendition of what they THINK a Guild headstock looks like. So it's just incorrect all around.To me that TRC looks symmetric across a horizontal line so the top and the bottom are the same. Thus it cannot be upside down, or, if you prefer, right side up. But I don't think I recall a "real", Guild TRC with that shape.
I'm sure the dude who drew it knew we'd all get our knickers in a knot over it too!

Different geometry on a Fender as the Truss Rod is parallel to the headstock.They should do away with those antiquated t rod covers and just do trod holes at the headstock like fender does. Much more elegant than two screws on a cheap plastic plate. Less fumbling with tiny screws. If they wanna fancy it up put a mop binding around the hole. Better yet, just do carbon fiber necks then you never need a truss rod again.
Just stick to the Westerly Collection where the adjustment is from the other end and you access it through the soundhole.They should do away with those antiquated t rod covers and just do trod holes at the headstock like fender does.

That's a good question. I Don't know. The few guys I know who have carbon fiber guitars said there is no truss rod in their guitars and no need to adjust neck. Some have non-adjustable truss rods. Next time I see one of them I will have to check out the relief to see how they set it from factory.How do you sent relief without a truss rod?
