Okay, here is the deal. SAGA musical products has some of what we all use. The usual, bridge pins, truss rods, bone nuts, bone saddles. The rub. To set up an account you gotta make a $250 purchase. I don't need fifty truss rods at five bucks apiece, you know the Martin style aluminum channel with steel rod in the middle? Take bone nuts for example, a dozen is $24.95, but that's the catalog and website price, divide it by two, that's the wholesale price, 12.50 for a dozen bone nuts and so on.

Anyway, I'm looking for a couple of folks to go in on an order with me, for about eighty five bucks each. Check out the website and get with me if you are interested. Sylvan uses these folks and offered to send me some rods out of his stock, but I really would just as soon set up an account.

Over time we can all get accounts by hurdling over the $250 barrier for the small items they offer that we need. Thanks, email me, Bruce bdickey@...... cswnet(dot) com.Dickey38370.9950810185

Bone Nuts, $1.04, Bone Saddles for $1.04, Pickguards $1.00, Martin Style truss rod with u-channel and steel rod, $5.00, check the website, divide the price in half, that's cost. Bruce

$11.50

Martin Style Ebony Bridge $8.50

$1.04

$1.04

$5.00 Martin Style U channel truss rod.

Martin Style Tortise Pickguard $.98

I'll probably be in for some truss rods. I will get a count to you later this afternoon.

Installing this truss rod gets a perfect fit if you use a 1/2 inch plywood router bit. The undersize plywood bit cuts a .430 dimension exactly the same as the truss rod. Nice. I'm still trying to figure out if I can use them for adjustment from the headstock.

According to their catalog / web description you can use them as you desire, if I am reading it correctly?
