Guitar Neck Tension
Is the neck able to handle more tension when it's loose or tight?

i'm not really too sure either.
Quote:
the truss rod in a neck helps gives it quite a bit more support and allows for adjustments to be made, but the whole story is much more complicated. putting more tension on the neck puts much more bow in the neck, and then it becomes an intricate game of adjusting for bow, intonation, and action. if you want your neck to take more tension without bowing, then most guitarist use a thicker neck that is square/rectangle shaped. if you wanna make higher notes on an instrument, you can also use a smaller scale, that way you get the tuning without as much tension.

If you are really careful,and you go string to string and tighten them a little bit at a time and bring them up together,you can rip the bridge right off,snap the neck,crack the body,get hit in the face with shrapnel,any number of things.The lightest gauge strings are stronger than the line used to haul in massive fish.Why can't you use a capo?
