Stainless Steel??

This rod is listed as stainless steel. That would mean it would be non magnetic, but a magnet will clamp right on to it. I think this is carbon steel..

C Newcomb,
Great observation, and a question we're often asked! Some stainless steels alloys are indeed magnetic and these are used because they're very strong, and easier to machine than non-magnetic alloys. This makes them ideal for our use in our Traditional Truss Rod Kits.

Good replacement

Had to replace the truss rod in a Gibson LG0. Short non standard size. Had to cut and re-thread but all worked fine. Seems like it may age better than the original.

Everything you said it would be. Works great, no problems. It went in old Harmony H162.

Traditional T.R. Kit it's ok!

I use the t.t.r.kit in several repairs in my lab and I must say that the quality is excellent, both of materials and the workmanship.

Good kit

I'm not giving 5 stars because one time I got the anchor with a lot of rust!

Traditional Truss Rod Kit.

I only use this type of truss rod as it works without taking too much meat out of the neck. This is kit is well made and priced.

Simple et éfficace

Je fais des manches 24 cases,et fais déboucher la tige dans le talon. ce système me permet de fabriquer une tige de réglage à la longueur voulue. D'autre part, bien positionné au fond de sa cavité et recouvert d'une baguette de bois, il ne force pas sur la touche.
