You are incorrect. There are 3 methods by which you can adjust action of the neck (stated easiest to hardes):
1. adjust truss rod tension
2. raise or lower the bridge with a shim
3. shim in the neck
As long as you make small tweaks, the necessary neck curvature will be preserved. Trust me I have tried all these methods, and the trussrod is the correct one to make in 98% of cases. Flattening out the neck too much hardly ever happens. Also the method you propose leads to the most f@#k ups.

PLZ READ THIS HELP
hi
i practice daily and keep my semi acoustic guitar in the cover for night(until i sleep) and it can extend up to morning and evening
coz i practice only in evenings
so my question is should i regularly tune and loosen the strings coz my dealer told me to do so regularly but some guys told me that you shouldnt coz its a matter of a day and you can keep the guitar tuned for days if you practice daily
so someone PLZ TELL ME SHOULD I TUNE DAILY AND LOOSEN THE STRINGS?or not?

Terrible! Clockwise or Counter-clockwise? Which direction does one choose based on the direction of the warp? Stupid!

@scienceisgod1 Don't call yourself stupid. It's demeaning to you and your monkey friends. Anti-clockwise usually releases tension, and bows the neck... in most instances. Clockwise normally turns up the tension and makes it less bowed.

errrrrmmm... sounds like weird advice. Just keep it in tune all of the time.
