Guys i just wanna ask... what will happen to the truss rod if you turn it like about 3-4 quarter turns without allowing the neck to settle in?.. iv seen some videos doing quarter turns about twice... would it seriously damage the neck?

The truss rod is generally for slight adjusment of the neck unless the neck is badly bowed. I usually do 1/2 turns at a time, just don't go crazy thinkin you're a tech wiz! :lol:
