demon Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 I am going to be building a neckthrough RG type guitar. I posted a thread a while back asking about the neck laminates, but I was wondering what the best type of truss rod would be. ive looked through a lot of the old threads and there doesnt really seem to be much facts...ie: most opinions seem to be personal preferences. I personally think that a double action would be too big, as the neck has to be as thin or preferably thinner than a wizard neck. That leaves a single action (which I prefer anyway) but Im wondering (yes Ive finally got to the point) whether to use a carbon one or a steel one. Do the different materials affect the tone of the guitar at all? for reference the neck was a rock maple - ebony - rock maple - paduak - rock maple - ebony - rock maple laminate neckthrough with basswood body wings.

Brian Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 I'm thinking and it is just my own opinion not based on any facts I know of, that the steel one would resonate more of the tone through the wood....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
