I was wondering if you prefer a guitar with an adjustable truss rod or not? I've been looking at a few guitars and some have the hole where you can adjust it and some don't.

What's your opinion on this? Thanks. Found some I want to look at, but just want to know different opinions on this subject before trying them out.

On some guitars the truss rod adjuster is at the other end of the neck. On electrics the pickguard has to be moved slightly to get to it. On acoustic guitars it's inside the sound hole.

Years ago some didn't have adjustable truss rods. My 63 Supro doesn't have one and neither does my 57 Dano. The necks are still straight after all these years. Most if not all guitars today are adjustable. There still may be some weird thing out there though.

It uses a dual torsion rod and I believe it is adjustable. Nice guitar by the way.
