The elevator may well be 'neutral' but the stabiliser (tailplane to us limeys) will probably still produce a minimal downward force.

I have never heard of a non fly-by-wire aircraft such as the B757 trimmed to an unstable (IE. C of G aft of C of P) static condition.

Standing by to be put in my place.
