Hi Guys,and hello to all from a newbie on the forum.
As stated gotta 1958, 6190 cadillac green countryclub in for a setup.problem is the trussrod....whenever I tighten it,it actually increases the relief/bow in the neck.
When I loosen the rod the neck is almost straight with about .010"relief but this increases to about .020" whenever I tighten the rod.
The guitar sounds amazing and apart from the problem is in good condition .Never encountered this before...
I'm no expert on gretsch's so hoping somebody here can help me out.
Anybody got any ideas bout whats going on.

Welcome!

Not sure about the truss rod problem, but if your guitar is a 6190 it's a single pickup Streamliner, not a dual pickup Country Club. Now that I think of it I don't believe Streamliners were originally available in Cad Green, although it was available in other very interesting colors.
I believe yours is probably a 6196.

Hopefully a more tech-savvy poster will come along soon. Cheers :cool:

Pictures would help

Of course u guys are right its a 6196...my mistake...
Anyhoo....just got some information on another forum,
Apparently these guitars trussrods were made to work in this fashion.....opposite to what we are used to ....tightening the rod GIVES relief.
Can anybody here back up this information???......great if its true...the guitar is working as should....
Heres a couple of pics...
