Routing the Truss Rod Channel
I placed the truss rod on the blank, lined it up on the center line, positioning it so that the adjusting nut was just shy of the edge of the heel... That marked out the beginning of the rout. Then I marked the truss rod end at the nut side. Ready to rout.
My Guitar Safari began somewhere around 4th Grade. I have scoured classified advertisements, guitar stores and pawn shops all over the world looking for the mythological 'find'. Whilst successful on some occasions, and bitterly disappointed on most, I have managed to collect a few in my time.
Recently, I had a dream where a man descended from the clouds on a flaming pie and commanded "you shall build"...
And just before he turned to leave he added "I almost forgot, you shall blog!"
