SwedishLuthier Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 In the pictures the trussrod is upside down. It might also be a bit to close to the head, but I'm not 100% sure. I place the rod so that the nut of the rod (the part welded to the square steel bar) is right under the nut of the guitar. but there is room for personal opinions in that matter.

MP63 Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 (edited) Photo 530 The truss rod is upside down. The flat part is against the fretboard. The round part is in the slot. Put the truss rod, so the tip of the adjstment tube (where the wrench goes in) is not past the face of the head. Look at it from the side. If the tip goes out too far, then the slot must be made longer towards the body of the guitar. The ends of the slot will have the force of the truss rod away from the fretboard, so the square end doesn't have to be exactly under the nut. Better to be under the fretboard than too far into the head. Anyhelp? Mike I think the fretboard is the same as keyboard, right? I tried wording this using simple english.

Jon Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 My guess is that he's Italian and is using an internet translator. Fingerboard probably translates as keyboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MP63 Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 Yes! Bravisimo! The tip must not go past the head face. So, you can put a truss rod cover on the face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwedishLuthier Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 I do this: Put the trussrod in the rout/grove you have made in the neck. Put tape over the trus rod and a small part of the fret board (1-2mm from the edge of the trussrod rout). Spred the glue thin. Pull of the tape. Clamp the fretboard.
