How do you adjust an acoustic guitar truss rod?

The answer is "it depends". There are a few variables: is the action too high, too low, where is it off (saddle, nut, 12th fret). I'll give a brief explanation.

THIS ADVICE HAS NO GUARANTEE - IF YOU ARE UNSURE, TAKE IT TO A LUTHIER

1) too high

-NUT: you can either file the nut with nut files (expensive) or sand some of the bottom of the nut off.

-NECK: adjust your truss rod

-SADDLE: sand a small amount of material from the bottom of the saddle

2) too low

-NUT: buy a new nut, or add krazy-glue and baking soda to fill in the grooves, refile to your liking

-NECK: adjust truss rod

-SADDLE: buy a new saddle or shim the saddle you have

Is a denstone guitar a good one?

For a beginner or casual user it is a very good guitar. I purchased the Guitar and amp packagae in 2011 and have used it for a year. There are only two and a half negative things I can say about it

1) The plastic strap that comes with it digs into your skin and is very irritating.

2) The amplifier sound decent with clean sound but the gain doesn't kick in until you turn up the volume to the point that the entire house is listening to you. I remedied that by buying an $80 zoom G1-XN multi-effects peddle.

2.5) The strat style tremolo bridge. Once you use it a few times you are now out of tune.

The body is agathis (good strength to weight ratio) so it weighs half as much as a Fender Strat. The build quality is decent. Once I adjusted the neck, bridge saddles and pick-up heights it started to feel like a real guitar except much lighter. As for tones, It might not sound like a $3000 JEM guitar but it's not bad.
