The Martin design(s) are superior in my opinion as metal on metal is immune to humidity changes or the unavoidable creep of wood and wood glue.
So basically the neck should not move from it's current relief position? I've just never noticed this before, as my other Martin's never needed an truss rod adjustment. Must be my ADHD kicking in again.
