Yeah, it’d be really helpful to know when the next one is.
I believe I emailed sometime in spring, and got a similar reply of “soon”.
I don’t know if I missed it, or there hasn’t been one. but I’m still waiting and looking forward to Fretboard Wizard. -
I started playing guitar 2 years ago with 10-50 strings, I switched to 11-52 strings about a year ago. and my switch to 12-54 strings is what made me need to adjust the neck truss.

I wanted to try heavier strings, for a few reasons: Seeing what heavier strings do for a warmer sound, and since I’ve been paying around with a little more sliding. the change in sound is noticeable, and I love it. And since my fingers have gotten pretty used to playing, it wasn’t as big of a pain in the fingers as I anticipated.
Doing the adjustment made me feel good! I’m glad that I can do it myself, and keep on playin’! -

Watch a couple videos about it, just to gain a better understanding.
If you’re still to nervous, you could always take it to a shop and watch them do it.But ultimately, if you have an action gauge (string ruler) and the right size hex key, you can do it!
Small turns and keeping an remeasuring. You go to far, you just turn it back slightly.
Initially I lowered the action to the right level (per standard measurement, that’s listed on my D’Addario Action Gauge), but got some string buzz, so I loosened it a bit, and now it’s sounding and playing great!
