Good to go

A worry free truss rod, and quite light. I was stuck for a moment thinking I didn't have a 7/16" router bit, until I realized I could simply use a 3/8" bit then move it over 1/16".......lol
I plan to buy another for a BassVI build soon

Easy and Strong

I can't think of a better truss rod design for us Europeans. All dimensions are in metrics, although it is described in imperials in description. All you need is a 12 mm router bit to route the channel, with around 11 mm depth. It is adjusted by 5 mm allen wrench, which can be found everywhere. The adjustment nut is made from a quality metal that will last forever and this is very important on a truss rod. I've used this on my Les Paul project and the neck turned out rock solid with a low, smooth action. I'm thinking of building a Strat now, and I will probably choose this rod for it as well.

Excellent anchor

Excellent anchor. With a good rigid structure. I plan to install on a thin neck.

Good to go.

I used one of these to replace a broken truss rod in a Japanese Les Paul copy and it fit perfectly. No drama, no problems. Exactly what I needed.

Ripper Rod

I have been using these exclusively for many years now. They work great, but because of the stiffness of the box shaped extrusion that the floating rod sits in, I almost have to do very little to adjust the necks on my 5 string basses. They are simple to install and the instructions are easy to follow.

Easy, sturdy, and at a fair price

These are great. They are easy to install and I haven't had any problems on any of my necks that use them

the martin style truss rod is simple and easy to install because it is strait instead of curved downward makes my job easier
