TGwaH Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 I made my own truss rod tonight. It's not particularly fantastic, but it's functional. Would anyone be interested in a tutorial on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannoG Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 Maybe you could post a picture and a brief description. Since we don't know what you've done, we can't tell if we want more info. Thanks in advance though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegarehanman Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 (edited) Ditto, you see, if it's a two way truss rod, then we can be slightly impressed(in all reality, there's not much to even a double acting truss rod), but if it's a traditional single acting truss rod, well then that's just a rod, a nut, and a threaded insert...not particularly impressive. I don't mean to be the barer of bad news, just the realist. EDIT: Now if by custom you mean you've created some sort of 3 way truss rod(assuming there could ever be a third way the neck would need to move), then...I will be quite impressed. peace, russ Edited September 30, 2005 by thegarehanman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not partiularly complex, but I can post some pictures when I make my next one. If people want more info, cool, if not it's all good.

thegarehanman Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 Is it a double acting truss rod? If so, I'd be really interested to know where you found a reverse threaded dye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marksound Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 Actually, Jon John Fisher Tirone ( ) has a couple of tutorials on the main site building guitars with stone knives and bear skins. Almost literally. He made just about everything he couldn't scrounge including truss rods, pickups, binding, you name it. Look for Building a Les Paul Style Guitar The Hard Way, and Building a Stratosomethingorother. It's all in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnewman Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 Is it a double acting truss rod? If so, I'd be really interested to know where you found a reverse threaded dye. ← Go to www.tapdie.com. At the bottom of every page in the taps and dies sections, it says: "All other sizes manufactured/supplied & LEFT-HAND in stock - ask" And they DO have about a million different sizes - pick your poison . They're pretty cheap, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
