What is the typical truss rod grove filler strip everyone uses. I ask because yesterday I was fooling around with a neck I had made a while back, fretboard removed, I was just cranking on the truss rod to see how much deflection I could get, but mostly all I got was compression in the filler strip which was made of spruce. The neck was maple and was profiled. should I have used a maple, or other hard wood, filler. thanks. Mike |

I have a low-end Guild electric that had a trashed fingerboard; and when I took it off I found a filler strip of beautiful, curly maple! I was glad to see that they didn't just throw away good wood scraps. |

thanks for the chuckle... besides sometimes its good to cheat. Are you using the hot rod truss rods. I have little experience overall, and non with the push-pull type. But now I know there is a truss rod out there that can save you one step.Trying to grab as much knowledge as I can.. Mike |
