<p>I don't know but does an arrow shaft bend when pressure is applied between the thumbs? If it does It will probably bend with the neck.</p>

<p>I'm another model aeroplane builder. Most model/hobby shops here in the UK sell carbon fibre in both rod and tube formats in various sizes.</p>
<p>Arrow shafts might be an alternative source.</p>

<p>I got mine from a German luthiery supplier, sort of the European equivalent of StewMac, and they were pricey as well.</p>
<p>I think they're pricey wherever you get them. I coudn't find cheap ones anywhere...</p>

<p>Where do you guys get your carbon fiber from. I know StewMac sells them but they are pricey.</p>

<p>Hi Hanns, in the manufacturers parts list that I buy from bar is flat rod is round. In any case your on the right track. Just so others are not confused.</p>
<p>I don't glue because the tightness of the fit of the bar in its slot forces any glue out as the bar is pushed in, and any glue film left is minimal. But you have have a tight fit end to end also. </p>
<p>If one does not have a tight fit then l would use glue to fill any void in the slot.</p>

<p>I'm a bit confused with the wording, Taffy, but I think what you call a bar is exactly what I called a rod here... The things I'm going to use are rectangular and 10 x 5 mm.</p>
<p>So you don't glue them at all? Why?</p>

<p>Hi, I use carbon fibre quite a bit in necks and reinforcement inside the guitar. Not CBG's.</p>
<p>I would recommend not using rod or tube in a neck,but a carbon fibre bar. When inside a tight fitting slot in the neck a bar has a far greater resistance to bending. Take bar or series of thinner strips bonded together, with dimensions of say 12mm x 5mm and try to bend it, I find that it will not bend, but a carbon rod would have to be quite a lot bigger to resist the same bending…</p>

<p>I think that a rod or tube would resist compression from end to end better than resisting the bending/bowing movement in a neck.</p>
<p>With a bar I use a firm push fit and no glue, then glue on the fingerboard. The good thing about carbon fibre in a CBG neck is lightness.</p>

<p>I will. Will be a slow process though, because I don't have much time for guitar building these days and I alsmost exclusively work with hand tools...</p>
<p>Thanks for all the good glue advice, guys!</p>
