truss rod needed urgently

Post by old_picker » Sat Mar 05, 2016 1:55 pm

Truss rod in the neck in progress atm snapped - just glued on the fingerboard - luckily it failed its first test and not the 5th or 10th - seemed ok when i give it a good twist prior to installing it.

I have some coming from LMI maybe two weeks or so away but I really need to get on with this job smartly so I was wondering if some one has a spare LMI rod they could send me. [btw this was not an LMI rod]

it is for an electric guitar so it'll be 18" or 460mm overall length

happy to pay postage and packing obviously plus price of rod. I can replace it when mine come in if necessary.

btw be nice if some in Australia decided to stock some decent truss rods

Thanks
Ray

I've got some of the new Allied rods in stock in the 17" (which measures overall about 18").

They cost around $40ea plus approx $10 freight from USA. So they owe me a bit under $50ea. I'm guessing that is more than you would like to pay.

I can't guarantee with aust post that it'll arrive before the ones from USA!

Ray,

Ive got a bunch of 18" rods and can spare you one. PM me postal address and Ill get in the mail first thing Monday. No charge.....Ive forgotten how much I paid for them, I think they were part of a group buy many years back. Buy me a beer next time youre in Adelaide and that'll cover postage.

Sorry Allen,

Ive got a stack of these rods and I don't envisage building alot of electrics before I die...seemed right to let Rod have one of them.

Ray,

I'm still waiting for your postal address. I'll need to get the rod in the post by Tuesday as I'm off to work on Wednesday.

Cheers Martin
