So I am pretty sure the neck I am using sucks. The laminate is pretty weak, I tried to adjust my truss rod and the rosewood center started to de-laminate… super! I glued the crap out of it and released the tension on the truss rod. Lets just hope I wont need to use the truss rod… I also sanded down to the carbon fiber rods by the 1st fret. I blame my brother Joe because he said that all my necks are too thick. It is good in the long run though, I will just have to use smaller rods for my necks.
Ouch. But then being thick/too wide, creates a unique guitar – sets you apart. I can hear it now, “Who needs a D/F#? I love my Bailie guitar!” Or “Bailie Guitars – not for men with girlie hands!”
