I have a new-to-me 1990 JF30-12 with double truss rods. I have never owned a Guild guitar nor a guitar with double truss rods. The neck relief needs to be adjusted. There is less than minimum relief. My understanding is both truss rods should be adjusted equally. Right now the bass side truss rod nut is one full turn tighter than the treble side. Should both truss rod nuts show equal amounts of tread above the truss rod nut.
Additional information: right now the treble side relief is less than the bass side relief, yet the bass side truss rod nut is run down tighter than the treble side.
I feel certain the saddle has been shaved in the past because string height in front of the bridge is 0.4".
I am not certain where I should go with here considering the current position of the two truss rod nuts. Should the two truss rod nuts be tightened equally when counting the number of threads exposed above the truss rod nut? In the past I have handled my own setups on Martins but perhaps its time to take to a professional.
