Post subject:  Truss rod peghead adjustment

I notice most guitars don't follow the Gibson way. I happen to like it and I'm planning/thinking about this for my second guitar neck. I like the look of it and don't care if it will probably break off someday when it falls off a stand.

My next guitar will have a Martinish body with a bolt on Gibsonish neck and a shell truss rod cover.

What say yee.

If you add a "volute/diamond/dart" to the back of the peghead it will add a little extra "meat" to that fragile spot.

I like to add a couple of smallish carbon fiber rods in the neck and run them up into the headstock to reinforce the area around the truss rod nut.
