StiffyGRX40 Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 Is it possible to make your own truss rod?? If it is, how can I make one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGGR Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 Have you ever had a truss rod in your hands???? I suspect you never have. The reason I say this ....cause people whom are handy enough to make one.....will make one the minute they see one, or buy one. If you can weld and cut some iron rods you won't have any problem with making your own. I will shoot some pics of the standard Lmii truss rod I bought.......the minute I had it in my hand....I thought.....well, this is the last time I bought one of those......;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STAHLER Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 I have had a go at making truss rods, they are not that hard to do. Here is a link that might help you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samoht Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 you don't even need to know how to weld.. my truss rods are basically 5mm steel rods with threads in one end and the other end is hammered in the shape of a hook which is epoxied in place in the neck.. the hook keeps the rod from turning in the slot when the bolt is tightened. very simple but effective.

eddiewarlock Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 I had made 3 copies of the Hot rod truss rod at a machine shop, the minute they saw it, they said " yeah it can be done, piece of cake" I had them made of stainless steel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
