@@YardeGuitars It doesn't look like there is shrink wrap around the rod. If it's a double action which I'm guessing for a build like this, you don't want to seal the rod in the rod channel with glue. If you've cut the slot too big, some caulk underneath maybe so it doesn't rattle (or just make a nnew neck), but when applying the fretboard to the neck, a bit of tape on the truss rod stops glue from getting onto it when smearing the glue, then once the glue has spread, take the tape off. It is also to make sure no glue gets in the threads or inhibits the moving functionality of the rod. If it is shrink wrapped it's less of an issue as the rod should theoretically move under the plastic. Hope that makes sense to you.
@@djentisnotagenre I get where you are coming from, but the glue doesn't bond with the steel of the trussrod. I am not saying I am right or wrong, but I have never had an issue with how I install trussrods and I have made quite a few in career. Each to their own aye ;)
@@YardeGuitars I also hear what you're saying. It might not be a strong bond, but it can and does bond to metal. The other issue is the corrosion, it's OG Titebond so it will corrode - very slowly because it's sealed in there and will definitely corrode if there is no shrink wrap, but it all depends on how good your channel and access point is cut because that's where the oxygen would be coming from. I can't expect you'll have issues in the short term, or in a decade even, but when you're making instruments you have to think about 50-100 years imho - if made right they have the capacity to have the lifetime of a Stradi. A lot of people will pew pew at what I'm saying and be happy kicking issues into the future, I just think if you're selling in a shop it's a different story to making for yourself. I've installed hundreds of new rods in my career (also repaired a few dozen) and I'd err on the side of caution myself. Also for a guitar like this, it would be cool to see some carbon fibre rods for rigidity.
The output jack location ruined a perfect build for me... play in classical position with that location is very uncomfortable. But sure, guitar looks insane!

stunning 7 string James , that fretboard looks ace...The Tamar is a fantastic Guitar.👍
and congrats on getting the guitars in the shop.
Amazing job. Love the use of 3D printed guides :) I'm currently making a headless bass, no cnc though :')
Thank you ! if you need any help with your design, send me message :) Instagram: @yarde_guitars
You've inspired me to create my channel where I review week old biscuits
wow great work an new sub here
Thank you !
Fntastico!
He's got a 7 string geee-tar, n pulls all the strings for the laydees
That's an hell of a cnc! What's the brand??
Thank you ! It is a Stoney Exec 8 with 5.0 robotics upgrades. Absolute beast for a 1/4 sheet bed size !
@@YardeGuitars Really, that's massive! Congrats on the build too, that's very well engineered and cured. Classy color too!
@@italianguitargarage708 really appreciate your kind words ! more are definitely on the way !
The glued in truss rod is a big no. A little tape goes a long way.
do go on
