Truss rod adjustments
If you tighten a truss rod nut until the neck finally begins to adjust you are storing additional torque that will continue to move the neck after it has left the shop. Often a customer will be pleased with their neck action when they leave the shop only to find that in a couple days the same neck needs adjustment again. The reason this is true is that it takes more force to move the neck than it does to maintain balance between the string tension and neck tension. Optimum action is a delicate balance of one force working against another.
