Any suggestion for Fender Stratacoustic max-out truss rod?
Hi,
What are the options about the max-out truss rod of this particular guitar. it bows so much and I still want to straight its neck but couldn't go anymore! Thanks.

Often enough, folks feel the truss rod is as tight as it can go when they're encountering a lot of friction on the threads. SO, my first line of defense is to take off the nut and lubricate the threads with some nice Triflow or other oil.
That said, those thin body guitars have endemic neck angle issues, so if the bend appears at the body joint as you sight down the corners of the frets, the truss rod is unlikely to help much. Neck removal/resetting may be necessary to achieve the needed alignment - not a trivial job.

If you are running out of threads, you can remove the nut, add a second washer and reattach the nut. This will act as a spacer and allow the nut and original washer to push further before running out of threads.
That only works if you are running out of threads.
