I've got the fingerboard partly off a neck, and I can see the truss rod. The head looks OK, not chewed up or anything (allen style) and the threads look a bit rusty, but otherwise OK. Is there anything I should do to it? Grease the threads or something?

I'm oiling up my truss rod now. I'd like it if you did the same.

How do you have the fingerboard partly off? Just wondering.

Presumably only one end has been lifted off the neck.

Maybe add washers so you have plenty of adjustment each way, if the wood has compressed, don't want to find its right at the end of its travel when its all together again.

Where do the washers go?

I should add I have the top bit of the fretboard off, at the headstock, and this is also where the adjuster is.

Should be apparent from looking if you can determine if you need them from the same.
