thanks for not showing how to adjust the truss rod!

@Guy9998 the way he is saying by looking now the neck is fine nothing wrong in that at all your way is all so correct

what i did was take a 3/4 inch drill bit and drill a hole straight thru the fifth fret. when it comes out the other side, spray some wd40 inside on the truss rod and fill the hole with epoxy or wood putty. always make sure to overtighten your strings to keep the hump tension on a concave adjustment.

terrible

The best way to tell if the neck is adjusted is to use a straight edge ruler. You can also depress at the first fret and where the neck and body attaches to check how much slack is in the strings. Please stop making these videos because you're just going to make amatuer repairmen frustrated. I feel sorry for your guitars.
