I made a truss rod out of cheap supplies you can buy at menards, I'll take pics and post up a tutorial if people are interested, but I used 1/4-20 threaded rod, that square tubing with only 3 sides, a 1/4-20 coupler, a nut, some super glue and a little bit of tape to wrap around the rod. The threaded rod came in a 6 foot length for a buck, same with the square tubing, the coupler was about $5 for 3 and well a nut I had lying around, some measuring you can make 3 truss rods for a total of about $8, AND mine looked A LOT better than that one, mine looks like your traditional truss rod!!!!!
I quickly posted a tutorial of it on my site, have a look, let me know what you think, I'll also post a new thread maybe it'll get pinned!!!
