Details

The 1/2"-diameter "spoke" nut is designed to protrude slightly from the heel of a bolt-on neck; you can insert a thin tool into the side of the nut to turn it, without pickguard removal.

Easy to install. The Hot Rod^® fits in a straight channel. For proper operation, this truss rod must be installed so that the active rod (the rod with the adjustment nut) is below the passive rod. A wooden filler stick is not required.

Smooth 2-way action with superior strength for stubborn necks. Stainless steel adjustment rod corrects upbow and backbow.

Hot Rod's neck adjustment system features twin rods in threaded brass collars. The stainless steel active rod turns for smooth neck alignment, with 2-way action. The Hot Rod requires an access cavity for the adjustment nut, and a straight 7/32"-wide x 7/16"-deep slot (measured from the bottom of the fretboard) for installation. The 18" rod fits many electric guitars; the 24" rod fits basses. Overall length includes the nut.

We've designed the Router Bit for Hot Rod Truss Rods especially for routing your neck to fit our truss rods.

Most Excellent!

Truss rod adjustment with no guitar disassembly? Such a simply amazing concept! Why very few guitar makers utilize this style of truss rod is beyond me! Trusted by EBMM for years (that speaks volumes in itself), we now have Stew Mac's take on the spoke nut truss rod and they are awesome! I have used SM's truss rods for years and find them to be of high quality, solid construction. Since switching to the spoke nut version I have found true truss rod happiness! Thanks SM! I am WAY too excited about these! HA!
