nice SC-1! cool early 80's vibe. welcome to G&LDP!
if it feels like the truss rod nut is maxed out, might be interesting to slack the strings, and loosen the truss rod nut, counterclockwise a bit, at least 180 degrees, then try to retighten. then, try to readjust again in a few weeks, if it needs it.
agree, don't force it clockwise if maxed out.
I use 09-42 strings on my '83 SC-2.
