Truss Rod Adjustment

[fuzzyratfarts]

From about fret 11 to 17 many of the notes I bend are become dead upon bending, as in when I pluck the note they are fine but when I bend, the notes die immediately. Does this mean I need to adjust the truss rod? If I am looking at my Strat's headstock from this view, then which way do I turn the allen screw, clockwise or counter?

No offense, but you might wait longer than 3 minutes before you bump the thread up. If someone can help they'll chime in .

counterclockwise so your neck gets a lil more hollow. Take it easy though start with 1/8th of a turn. It might be enough.

most guitars are designed to perform best with a slight bow.
