Martin-style Non-adjustable Truss Rod


Read 4 Reviews   |   Write a Review

This sturdy and strong 3/8" x 3/8" x 14" "square steel tube," is the same as those previously installed for years in Martin guitars with 14 frets to the body.

You can saw it shorter to fit 12-fret necks and other instruments if necessary.

Stiff as

I like these in my classical guitars as they are incredibly stiff and not too heavy.

traditional non-adjustible truss rod

Sometime in the 1970's or 1980's Martin changed to an adjustable truss rod. Prior to that they used a non-adjustable support. After taking apart and repairing a few vintage Martins, I grew to like the idea of the non-adjustable truss rod. Using them I find that the neck under tension gives just about the perfect amount of relief. After all, if a neck gets into trouble due to the neck set, the solution really is not a truss rod adjustment, it's a neck reset, which many old Martins seem to need. I like the simplicity of the non-adjustable rod, it's rigidity and the Martin tradition.
I wish Stewmac offered the older style t-bar non-adjustable truss rod. Maybe they will in the future.

Using square tube instead of adjustable truss rod

I'm building another Cigar box guitar and this time I would like to try the non adjustable truss rod, because it simplifies some of the operations on the neck.

really?

I'm surprised Stew-Mac even sells this kind of thing. A non adjustable tube that isn't even that stiff when compared to carbon fiber?
