Fitting the truss rod...

I'm using a pre-made neck to save time so the boosters can get this raffle going quickly. As you'll see in the pictures, the neck is already carved and just needs a head plate and fingerboard attached to it. It also comes with a slot cut for the truss rod. But the truss rod had some small welding nibs left over that needed to be filed. Here are some pictures of it in progress and fitted in place.


Here it is with the adjustment socket just protruding through the headlock. The top brace of the soundboard will have a hole  through which an alan wrench can be inserted to get at this adjuster.
