If you tighten it, it wouldn't it make the rod "shorter", which would increase the bow? I want to lengthen the rod (decrease pressure) to straighten it.

For instance here a sideview of the truss rod with N = nut H = end by the soundhole.

N------------------H-- If you tighten, you are moving the H closer to the Nut which would make the rod bend wouldn't it?
