Neck relief on CA Guitars?
Since CA guitars do not have a truss rod, I'm wondering where they factory set the relief?
Their website explains that "The absence of a truss rod in the guitars presents no difficulty to the Plek Pro, as it is able to simulate string tension while planing the neck." This is pretty slick, but I can't find on the website a spec for neck relief at the 7th fret. Though the standard set-up variance for relief on an acoustic guitar is pretty small (.004" to .012"), player feel and playing style can make the relief an issue for a player when it is set to the wrong extreme. For example, .004" is not likely to feel right or work well for a heavy-handed, hard strummer, while .012" may not feel right or work well for a fingerstyle player with a very light touch. I tend to like "middle of the road" relief of .008" to .010", so I'm guessing the relief on a CA guitar is likely to feel okay to me, but thought I'd inquire to see if anyone knows exactly where it is set.

Just measured my CA Legacy. Capo at first fret, pressed down at 12th fret, got 008 at 7th fret low E.
