Because two way rods are great! Yes they are! Blanchard will also make to your spec. A little pricey perhaps but a great rod. http://www.blanchardguitars.com/guitarp ... _rods.html |

I have 6 Stew mac Hotrod rods for a mandolin. Let me know the length you need. These are 2 way. Mike |

I have two Instruments in the shop at the moment, both made by the same name-brand overseas manufacturer. Both had backbowed necks. The one with the 2-way was simple to setup, without drama. We’ve struggled with the other and have concluded there’s nothing left to do but a really agressive fret level. Not ideal. Plenty of good instruments on the market with 2-way rods — no reason to settle for a one-way unless it is for vintage value. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

I particularly like them at the fret levelling stage... |
