Bought my first electric - a used se 22 semi-hollow w trem - about two months ago. The other day I broke a string for the first time so I strung it up with a set of 10s (pretty sure it had 8s or 9s before). I knew it would need a setup but the thing that confused me is when I checked the truss rod with the business card trick I needed MORE relief which is the opposite way I would’ve assumed. I adjusted it and now it’s playing halfway decently. I didn’t check relief before the string change but it was setup by the shop I got it from and was playing great. Can someone please explain?
