Stiffening Rods

Steel Stiffening Rods

Our stiffening rods are solid steel and are installed on both sides of the truss rod.

Benefits of our steel stiffening rods

  • Increased mass = longer sustain, cleaner and clearer notes.
  • Even frequency response.

Graphite Stiffening Rods

Our graphite rods are pultruded unidirectional carbon fiber strips for maximum strength. They are installed on both sides of the truss rod in place of the steel stiffening rods.

Benefits of our graphite stiffening rods

  • Stiffer like steel rods, but less weight.
  • Old school frequency response. Sounds more like a vintage neck.
  • Graphite rods can be installed in place of steel stiffening rods for $60.
