All-rosewood necks: stiff? little relief? (also '06 McRosie pics)

[DS_180]

Just bought a used '06 McCarty with an all-rosewood neck. Love the feel, plays great. Currently strung with 9's, and I barely have any curve/relief in the neck. Although I do prefer an almost-straight neck, would be nice to have the option to adjust for a little more relief. The truss rod nut is backed off completely. Perhaps tune up to F and let it sit for a while? Suggestions?

A few pics as well

I have no suggestions but that's a nice guitar.

So I'm guessing the older McCarty's DON'T have a dual action truss rod?

I don't think it is an age thing. My 99 rosewood neck adjusts like my other PRS.

whoops...so I only glanced at the truss rod initially, and thought it was backed off. Forgot it was double acting, and that the nut is welded on the rod. A little lefty loosey, all good. My bad! I added a picture of the truss rod nut in the shared folder.

So how 'bout them rosewood necks eh?

Love them rosewood necks! I would have been astonished if there was no room to adjust that truss rod further! Glad you got it sorted out.
