Needed to get rid of some relief so I removed neck so I could get to truss rod nut to turn it and it won't turn (I was gentle. I nbever turn more than 1/8 turn in either direction either). Contacted my Fender authorized repair guy but not heard back yet as to when I can drop it off for a look-see. Is it OK to leave the neck off while I wait to meet with repair guy in next week or so? Or should i put it back on and string it back up?

I don't know if its bad to leave the neck off.

I don't think it will hurt anything to leave the neck off. Sounds like the nut is maxed out maybe or cross threaded. Good luck.

A few weeks wouldn't hurt......but years...in a garage or the attic would ruin it though.

He said "next week or so." Not years in the attic or garage. Sheesh!
