TRUSS RODS & PARTS
Essential components for neck stability and relief adjustment.
The truss rod is the structural backbone of a guitar neck, designed to counteract the tension of the strings and allow for precise "relief" adjustments. Our selection includes high-quality rods and replacement parts for vintage restorations, modern builds, and routine maintenance. Whether you are installing a new rod or replacing a stripped nut, these components ensure long-term neck stability and optimal playability.
List of products
Truss Rod Types and Designs:
Dual-Action Truss Rods: The modern standard for custom builds. These rods can provide both convex and concave adjustment, allowing you to correct both "up-bow" and "back-bow." They are highly responsive and easier to install in modern neck slots.
Single-Action Rods: Traditional vintage-style rods that exert pressure in one direction. Ideal for authentic restorations where historical accuracy and minimal wood removal are priorities.
Replacement Nuts & Parts: We stock a wide variety of truss rod nuts, including bullet nuts, hex-drive nuts, and vintage-style slotted nuts. Available in both Metric and Imperial threads to fit US-made and import instruments.
Technical Specifications:
Length and Dimensions: We offer rods in various lengths optimized for electric guitars, acoustic guitars, and basses. Always measure your neck blank or existing routing to ensure the rod fits securely without interfering with the nut or heel.
Adjustment Points: Choose between headstock-access and heel-access designs. For modern convenience, we also provide rods with side-adjust mechanisms or spoke-wheel nuts that allow for adjustment at the neck heel without removing the pickguard.
Material Integrity: Our rods are manufactured from high-tensile steel to prevent snapping or stripping under tension, providing a reliable mechanical life for the instrument.
Tech Tip:
A stripped or seized truss rod nut can make an instrument unplayable. When replacing a nut, always verify the thread pitch (Metric vs. Imperial) and ensure the rod threads are clean and lubricated. If you are building a new neck, ensure the truss rod channel is cut to the exact depth of the rod to prevent "rattling" under vibration.
