Truss rod and butt joint
Posted: Thu Nov 28, 2019 3:20 am
Hi!
I'm building my first guitar and I'm using a simple butt joint with these inserts: https://www.lmii.com/neck-installation- ... -of-2.html
It all fits very well and the angle of neck is decent. It just hit me - because I'm about to close the box - that I need to make the truss rod able to go through the heel block. Is the procedure simply to measure out and drill a hole in the right size before closing the box, since I have not dovetail or mortise and tenon? Or should i saw an extension of the truss rod channel into the top after closing the box?
Cheers,
Søren
