How do you determine when your trussrod needs a tweak?

[AnthonyD]

Agreed!

Oh... And I always measure for pick-up height after set-up!

I check my relief just by pressing the string down at the first fret and the fret where the neck meets the body. Its a quick and easy way to see if I need an adjustment.

+1 for me too.

I've just had my A string start to buzz only and went for a 1/4 turn on the saddle - sorted it.

Just how did Jon get so dang smart about these MM instruments anyway?!?!?

Every guitar neck is different though, you cant go solely by measurements.
My Stingray buzzes terrible if its been in the cold of the van for a while, after being inside for a bit, its ok.
Even if you get low action without buzz, you can still be killing your tone and sustain.

It's a talent that comes naturally...hey Jon
