I have to agree. This whole truss rod thing is a storm in a teacup, as far as I'm concerned. I know others like to tweak or like the reassurance of knowing the option is there (and others outright disagree...) But I've had my pre-peavey GX since 2010, used both mediums and lights and never had a problem.
