asm Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 my headstock angle isnt as much as i planned, so rather than carving a larger access hole for the rod im going to get a 1/8" allen nut rod. this is a 1/4" Hex nut rod. never adjusted, completely new except for that i took off the red plastic tubing off the rods so they wouldn't possibly cause rattle. 10$ t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Rosenberger Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 the red plastic tubing KEEPS the rods from rattling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asm Posted December 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 im not using a fillet though, filling up the channel with silicone. thus, making everything nice and quiet *except* for where the silicone wasnt, between the plastic and the rods.

Bill-Murray Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 I don't follow.......I'm kinda a newb to truss rods, which one would I get if I wanted the ( I think) 13 degree angle?? I'm gonna do a gibson style headstock, I think it's 13... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asm Posted December 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 for the gibson style angle you can go with this one or the one im replacing it with. are you building your own neck or buying one? they are the same length, ect, i just would have to make the access pocket bigger on mine, which i didnt want to do because im having neck thickness problems during construction. t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill-Murray Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 Oh, I see. I'll probably just get one that requires the least access... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
