Did he remove the marker and drill a hole down to the truss rod? As you can see, there's a lot of wood between the 7th fret marker and the truss rod on a vintage style neck.



Compare that to a neck with the Bi-Flex truss rod that has a screw under the 7th fret marker.



Sounds to me like your guy doesn't know the difference. If you want it fixed, send it to mellecaster.

yes, he drilled down to the truss rod. my mistake in describing the job.
thanks for showing the pics though, it give me more of an idea how thr rod works.
