sb guitars Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 I'm starting my second guitar and me neck is going to be a set neck. the problem is that the man who taught me how to build, is unable to get in touch with him. he would tell me carbon fiber is as hard as a **** brick house! but most modern guitars are going with the dual action truss rods. the question/topic: what, in your opinion, is best for necks; carbon fiber, single action truss rod, dual action....or any other truss rod. please, discuss...

I actually just stopped in to acknowledge the cool Pink Floyd quote... But as far as your question: A dual action truss rod is probably sufficient if the wood you're using for the neck is reasonably stable. Add a couple carbon fiber rods if you're paranoid; it can't hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick500 Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 If it were me, I'd just put a dual action truss rod in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattia Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 Dual CF rods, dual action rod. All my necks, no exceptions. Works great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
