thanks for the kind comment Sammy. Iv'e just been puting my website together if you fancy a look, its www.junksville.com not quite finished yet, but getting there
I was just curious, as I am planning a 6-string build. I don't plan on using any metal, either. I like a nice thick neck, anyway, and I hope the bulk will make it strong enough to resist the string tension.
I must admit to never using a Truss rod. I sort of build the necks in bulk so I can just grab one when I want to do a new build. They're around 50" long so I can use them for cigar box through necks or cut them down for bolt on solid body.
So far "touch wood" I havn't had one warp on me, they're all old seasoned Oak with Maple fretboards and seem very stable....I do think I'll try a truss rod at some time though!
