Mike Gutsch, our friend and Allied shopmate is growing his FlexStrong line with a new Compression-Tension Rod to accompany his lauded line of truss rods and kerfing. These rods are great for: Those who want to minimize neck weight. Those who are building Fender style necks. Those who are building thin necks. Classical builders, including those who want easy soundhole access with our extended length version. Features of the new Compression-Tension rod include: All stainless-steel construction Simple dual-action design that allows for smooth, fine adjustment (but not so fine that you risk bottoming out the threads or being overly tedious to adjust) Adjustment rod spins freely within anti-vibration tubing so rod can never bind up inside neck in either direction Induction-brazed for superior strength, reliability and consistency Electro-cleaned and passivated for ultimate corrosion resistance and neat look Custom lengths available Custom Lengths - We can cut rods in any custom length! To order rods in a custom length, select the part number for custom length rods above and place your order, then send an email with your custom length to [email protected]. Please specify the total overall length, including the 3/4" for the nut. Selecting a length: There should be at least 0.75" of wood to about the blocks under tension (ie reverse). So, please be sure to choose a rod length that will place the blocks at least 0.75" from the end of the heel. Also, unlike a normal truss rod, the adjustment nut should not extend beyond the nut (in other words: not into the headstock).

Please allow 2 to 4 business days for them to ship. Get in touch if you need to rush the order and we will do our best to accommodate you.

While we are very confident in the strength and durability of our rods. If the rod does break in the neck, all we can do is replace the rod; we cannot compensate for more than that.
