simon1138 Posted August 16, 2020 Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 Hello, i have thought about making my own truss rods and wanted to learn a little more about brazing. i have watched a few videos and it looks similar to soldering which i can do well enough. i was thinking about making truss rods that bend both ways and have ordered a left handed thread die. i have some metal working skills but not brazing. anyone made this sort of truss rod? what materials did you use? b and q do rods and bar that seems quite cheap, which will immediately trigger a lot of quality responses. also, i am not sure of length required for a truss rod. any help would be great, thanks simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the adjustment nut is at the body end of the neck, the other end needs to be near the first fret. I've used 40 cm rods for my guitars, in a single cut LP it ends at the 18th fret.
