the reason i dont/cant add an adjustable rod is that the build needs to be finished faster than i can aquire one and plus i am weird and want to do this as an experiment mostly
Classical / nylon strung guitars don't have a truss rod. Is this what you're building?
its an electric but i started out on nylons and i wanted this to feel similar
i think taking a large piece out of the neck and replacing it with metal makes the sound more metallic/tinny. keeping the wood imo keeps the tone and sounds more natural
my neck is going to be a roughly 1.5" thick solid mahogany thats sat in a garage for 4-5 years in extremely varying temps with no warpage...would this stand up to light (8-48) strings?
