38” Inch Acoustic Guitar with Neck Adjustment Truss Rod + Optional 38” Guitar with Truss Rod Neck Adjustment What is a Truss Rod in a Guitar? Truss rods are required for instruments with steel (high tension) strings. Without a truss rod, the guitar's wooden neck would gradually warp (i.e. bend) beyond repair due to applied high tension. The truss rod is part of a Guitar or other fretted, stringed-instruments that stabilizes the lengthwise forward curvature (also called relief), of the neck. It is a steel bar or rod that runs inside the neck, beneath the fingerboard. A guitar neck made of wood is prone to bending due mainly to atmospheric changes, and the pull created by guitar strings and/or tuning. A truss rod keeps the neck straight by countering the pull of the strings and natural tendencies in the wood. When the truss rod is loosened, the neck bends slightly in response to the tension of the strings. Similarly, when tightened the truss rod straightens the neck by resisting string tension. Guitar technicians usually adjust a guitar neck to have a slight relief (forward bend) to achieve reasonably low action in high fret board positions, while letting strings ring clearly in low positions. A lower action in the high fret positions also facilitates more accurate intonation with less compensation at the bridge. Features:
