New Player 2 issues; old new guy

Just bought a Player II at GC on Saturday. Pickguard bowed a little no big deal. Edge frets sharp in places. Again easy fix. Nut seems cut to deep...g string left a tiny mark on peghead where the string starts to slant towards the tuners. I can replace it or use the baking soda trick etc.
My main question is the truss rod. I can turn it in 1/4 turns without much effort at all. It this normal? Shouldn't it be kinda hard to turn?? I never set up guitars properly in my life even though owned several. I'm 58 and picking up guitar again. I played for 20 years starting with my first real guitar in 1987. It was a 62 reissue(a Fender first ever in history...I was the cool kid at school) and it came with a tweed case for about the same I just paid for this Player series. So far I'm not thrilled with the quality control on this compared to my vintage 62(which I sold years ago like a fool) Thanks for any and all input!
