Truss Rod Fully Losened?

[fguihen]

I have a pretty low action, and was getting some fret buzz in a new Les Paul. i measured neck relif at 6th fret and it was non existant.

I adjusted the truss counter clockwise until i had about 0.010 inches of relief at fret 6. I would like a little more relif, but the truss nut is now lose enough that i can turn it with my finger, without the need for a wrench, as if its fully losened.

is that normal? have i reached the end of the amount of adjustment i can do?

it happens i have a strat like, it doesnt have any back bow just wants to be straight i ended up putting 11's on it where i normaly run 10's to get a good amount of relief.

The joys of single action rods! Chances are with the rod loose a little more relief will come with time.

Perfectly normal, Gibson uses a single way truss rod, you can only adjust it clockwise... You can not adjust the rod counter clockwise I'm afraid...

do tighten up the rod a little so that its not completely loose. Having it completely loose can cause rod rattle.
