Doing Things Wrong

Something to Play With

Ebay is doing 10% bucks, and some knowledgeable people have said that this is not a complete piece of junk like the 'Overlord', so I ordered one. Merry Christmas for me.

Under $60 for the whole kit, about the same as you'd pay for a decent bridge and tuners. Not sure what I will do with it. A headless Longhorn might be neat.

This is my favorite truss rod design. It is not my most advanced, but it is the simplest to build. Although it is a single-acting rod, a little forethought in routing the channel makes it reversible, effectively double-acting. That requires some disassembly of the guitar, but you only need to change the direction of the rod once or twice in the life of an instrument, until it settles in to a mature shape.
