Todd, does the new Martin 2 way truss rod have an aluminum channel? Also, are you getting them from Martin? Thanks Chuck |

This is the old style that Martin used from the 80's???? until 2007 http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Truss_rods/Adjustable_truss_rods/Martin-style_Adjustable_Truss_Rod.html This is the new style that Martin uses now. http://www.lmii.com/CartTwo/thirdproducts.asp?CategoryName=Truss+Rods%2FNeck+Parts&NameProdHeader=Truss+Rod+%2D+Martin%99+Style+Truss+Rod |

The one way rod is correct but not the 2 way that LMI is showing. I have the actually martin rods. Martin truss rods are very similar but they are different. |

I have purchased the Martin style two way truss rods from LMI, Stewart-McDonald, and Grizzly. Grizzly and LMI state that these truss rods are made by Gotoh. Although stewmac doesn't say who makes the ones they sell, I suspect that they are made by Gotoh as well. http://www.lmii.com/CartTwo/thirdproduc ... +Truss+Rod http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Truss_rods/ ... s_Rod.html http://www.grizzly.com/products/Truss-R ... -15-/H3086 |

I can get both rods. They are a stock item. The old style truss rod may be discontinued by Martin but I have found thier supplier and I can still get the 14 fret style |

Todd, Agreed, the new style Martin two way truss rod is a nice one, available directly from Martin. I responded with the information I did because the question was where can the old style two way rod in the aluminum channel be obtained. I've used several of these and haven't had a problem with any of them. That said, I recently started using the rods from Allied Lutherie. |

Interesting stuff. Todd/John, are you still able to rout a 1/4" slot for the new Martin rod and squeeze it in or do you have to go bigger? Terry |
