I am adjusting my trust rod to straighten the neck on my guitar. I followed all the directions adjusting in small increments. I am turning the allen wrench clockwise to tighten it. But after I make the adjustments the neck seems straighter but I didn't have to retune my guitar. It held its tune almost perfectly. I thought by making the neck straighter it would increase the tension on the strenghts and make them go sharp. So whats going on?

Minor adjustments to the truss rod will not always throw the tuning off. It may go off a little after it sits and settles in a little so don't be surprised if it is off tonight or tomorrow.
