About constructing a guitar neck, I've figured out everything pretty vividly in my mind; but the truss rod has me in a rut, how do I go about installing one of them suckers? if this is in the wrong section, would a mod have this moved please?
it's the wrong forum. There are many different styles of truss rods and installations. You'll need more precise info than you can get on any forum.
There are traditional truss rod uses in some styles of guitar necks. What kind of guitar are you talking about?
An electric guitar, if that was what you meant. I plan to make either a 7 or an 8 string depending on the availability of a 8 string fretboard.
Get Don Teeter's book "The Acoustic Guitar, adjustment, repair, etc" http://www.amazon.com/Acoustic-Guitar-Adjustment-Maintenance-Repair/dp/0806128143 He has an extensive section on truss rods, different types, how to install, etc. Uses the same principles, acoustic or electric.
