@blindboyjimi I talked to Nick about this when I was buying my guitar from him. He explained that his truss rod set up allows adjustment of the neck with strings at full tension. If you have to adjust it through the sound hole à la Martin or Collings, you have to detune the guitar -- which will change the bow of the neck, making it difficult to adjust the neck accurately with the truss rod. I am not a luthier but a customer, so I would also be interested to hear the thinking from some builders.
