I may wind up with a standard truss neck, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to explore other options NOW in planning instead of hearing of a brilliant idea after I'm half finished. I've already built a couple of guitars, I just build for myself, and I have NO desire to do it for a living. "Traditional" isn't important to me at all and I can take all the time (and trouble) I need. I may actually look into Stratabond, the more I read the more tough and stable it sounds.

The reason I'd to go to the trouble is I'd like to have a guitar just ONCE in my life be EXACTLY what I'm looking for. The only way to get something like that is to usually build it yourself, and I equate good intelligent design with "as bulletproof and as maintenance free as possible". I plan on building two guitars, my LAST two, and I just want them as bulletproof as possible. As far as plywood goes I actually thought about a CF reinforced Stratabond neckthrough.

Thanks, I may try a thin CF and hardwood kind of "plywood" if I can dig up appropriate sized CF. I'm not worried about appearance to much, I'm all about the stability.

Hello guys, as the topic title suggests I'd like some tips on eliminating the truss rod. I've played on a dead flat neck for years so totally locking a neck in (as much as possible)would be a godsend for me. I found this thing online called Gemini carbon fiber D tube, anyone have experience with these? Or does anyone know where I can get a honking chunk of carbon fiber like Vigier uses fairly reasonable? I also want a micarta fingerboard but can't find a source for anything guitar sized. I would really appreciate it! BTW this will be for a solid body.
