Question on truss rod adjustment

[horton]

Do have to detune(release tension) the strings before adjusting?

or should the guitar be in standard tuning before I adjust?

because I think the neck will only bend at strong tensions


please help..

I read on the faq that EB recommends adjusting with full tension. So that's what I do. Just retune and recheck after each small turn. Just don't overstretch your strings too much.
