Cool info JP, always been curious bout tryin aluminum 1/4"x1/2" flat bar glued up tight in a vertical slot in a neck...instead of a commercial truss rod....thanx much
Thanks CT,, I was playing that one tonight.. the wood is so beautiful.. the back is even more so.. One crazy thing I did with this guitar was put a solid aluminum rod in the neck for a truss rod. The neck is as straight as an arrow and plays great.. soft V shape on the back of the neck. The Northern Ash is a bit weighty but is a smaller body so it's not to bad. One other I built that year ended up with Billy Gibbons. It was a white one with a black pickgard and 1 humbucker. I think Jesse Dayton got one also. He's a picker down in Texas. Great player and a real nice guy..
