Hi, I think their are a good few guitar fiends about here, hopefully you can help me out.
I changed to a heavier set of strings on my guitar a while ago, then didnt play it for a while.
Coming back to it now, the action seems loads higher and adjusting the bridge is making no difference.
It seems that the neck has bowed foward slightly. It seems I might need to adjust the truss rod, something I have not done before.
I found this guide:

It seems simple enough, but it crucially does not mention whether I need to loosen the four bolts attaching the neck to my guitar body, it doesnt say you do, but I can not see how the neck would move over if I dont?
Any advice greatly appreciated. My guitar has a floyd trem & regular bolt on neck btw.
