Hi folks, just wondering if i could get some advice regarding truss rods?
I'm currently building an OM and a les paul style set net electric with adjustment from the peghead.
The problem is, I'm not really sure how long a length the rod should be. The body joint of the
set neck is at the 16th fret (22 fret guitar), and most truss rods from LMI,Stew-mac,etc. seem
too be to long...17-18 inches overall length! Extending past the body joint...
Sorry about the novice question!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks a whole bunch!
scott

The truss rod on the LP extends down into the tenon. The long one works fine.
