I can't seem to find a truss rod for my parlor build and I don't really want to make one. Are there any options out there? It's an S. Antes plan and looks like the rod should be around 12.5".

Shane Neifer (High Mountain) used to have rods made locally, and could probably have one made for you.

I have 1 and 2 way truss rods from Martin for them. The Antes plan is way over built.

Allieds work great. I have one on the go right now of the same plan. I am now at the part of the build that I most definitely dislike the most. Waiting for the lacquer to cure. :lol:

I've used Stew Mac's 4mm allen nut hotrod. They make one 12.25" long but it requires a 7/16" deep channel which might be cause for worry in thin necks.

I hope I don't feel the same way as you after my first 2 or 3 hundred. Man, I've got to get busy. I'm 51 and only done 7 necks. It says a lot that after that many you've not out sourced them Haans. [:Y:]

Happy Halloween
