Yeah, I read people using carbon fibre rods, double trussrods, and all that..... as they are worried about neck stability issues.
I'm not sure what to think fo all that. I don't see how cutting an additional trussrod slot in the neck, would help stability. It would only weaken the neck, I think?
In this build I will go for one bass type trussrod. (but have to measure that up exactly).
With all the Wenge and Zebrano in the neck (both incrediable heavy and stable woods) I don't see the need for carbon fibre rods. I see Wenge as a "natural" Carbon fibre. Just a 5-7 piece lamination will already give neck so much more stability....
And Ibanez is having delivery issue with their 8s for completely different reasons. To begin with this guitar is on special order. It's not in your regular store. You have to see this Ibby 8 as a Chrome Boy or any other "special" model they have brought out.
None of these "special" models - Chrome boy, JS PRM, the new Vai 20th......they all will have longer delivery dates.....as they are not produced in the normal Ibanez set-up. They need special tooling, set-ups, etc....... That simply causes delays.
