Just looking for some advise as to the proper way to go about it.

I assume it is just a matter of loosening the rearward set of neck bolts and then screwing the allen bolt in farther then re-tightening the neck bolts.

Is that it?

Well, i gave it a whirl anyway and it went fine. What a difference it made in playability.

I did as I mentioned above, loosen the most rearward pair of neck bolts three turns each and just cracked the front two about a half turn. I then turned the tilt adjustment (1/4" Allan wrench) in until it was snug, tightened the neck bolts back up and voila, that part was done.

I had to then raise the bridge, which previously was adjusted all the way down, up about 1/4" to get the action to where I wanted it. But that was fine because as a nice bonus, the break angle across the bridge was greatly improved.

I still have to intonate and adjust the pickups to the new geometry but that's easy enough to do.
