Bookmatching of two different trees?
O.K., but the "factory recommended specifications for strings" matter...Don't know. Don't care...
Yes, you are correct. They absolutely do. And I got them here.O.K., but the "factory recommended specifications for strings" matter...

Thank you for helping, I really thought it was two different trees... That is definitely bookmatched wood. What you're seeing colorwise is a phenomenon known as "runout".
cutrofiano,

Since the US-built guilds have the adjustment nut in the headstock, and the GADs have it in the neckblock, you need to face the nut head- on in which case clockwise will always be clockwise.chazmo,
I disagree.
If I am holding the guitar by the headstock with the body pointing away from me, turning the screw to tighten will look the opposite from holding the guitar by the body with the headstock pointing away from me and turning the screw to tighten. From one viewpoint the screw will be turning clockwise, and from the other viewpoint it will be turning counter-clockwise.
For now order of operations will be:
1. drop tune strings,
2. replace strings with lighter gauge strings,
3. have Luthier adjust truss rod if applicable.

Operative phrase being "when you face the nut (not screw) head on", you can only do that from its access point.If the truss rod is right handed thread, righty is always tighty, but it you were watching the person from the opposite end of the fretboard, it would look backwards, from your point of view. If you re-read both Adorski's and your post, they say the same thing.
No it isn't.
[...] If I am facing the screw head and I turn it clockwise, a person facing me will see the screw turning counterclockwise.
