FrostStorm Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 Hey everybody.. I have a question for those who have made a baritone guitar: I'm going to build a 8-string electric guitar with two trussrods. I'm going to use 28" or maybe even 30" scale with 24 frets.. It's going to be a long neck, so the question is.. How long trussrod should I use? I have seen some 18 1/8" long rods and the longer are for bass guitars (24"), which I think are too long. I know there's no "absolute truth" for the trussrod lenghts, but I'd like to get some insight from people who have done this kind of guitar already.. Thanks in advance, Jari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 I don't have specific insight for you, but I have used a 22" custom truss rod in a short-scale (30") bass. I got it from LMI. Their custom truss rods don't cost extra, although they take a while to make them. http://www.lmii.com/CartTwo/Secondproducth...ds%2FNeck+Parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
