| Post subject: | Truss rod length and installation |
Recently I`ve seen a YouTube video fro a german luthier who build a comissioned steel string guitar. The truss rod nearly reached the soundhole and was not embedded in the neck block extension for nearly 5 cm. The guitar was a dread. Is the length of the truss rod determined for a correct action of the rod, or doesn`t it matter? Robbie O`Brian places his truss rods with the moving parts beginning at the neck-body-joint. How do you install your truss rods? Juergen |

Hi Juergen I was like Robbie with the rod only effective from the 1st fret to the body joint. That's how they are all in my experience. |

I stop mine at the head block too. |

I stop my truss rods at the tenon of the heel block, with access from the sound hole, and extending to between the first fret and nut. THats how I built my first guitar, and subsequent ones. |
