Hi folks. I am wondering if anyone knows - are truss rods in PBG kit necks single or double?

My understanding is they are double action, which is a single truss rod that can work both ways.

Thanks Fretworn. I didn't want to break it!
Yep - they should all be doubles.

Do you know if they use welded or non-welded adjustment nuts?
I'm not sure, but this is what they look like! This is from a bass neck.

That certainly looks like a weld to me.
Also you really have to admire how far TD will go to help someone out. Pulling the truss rod out of a bass neck is definitely going above and beyond!
Thanks fender3x. But, ERRR, to be honest, I had actually pulled it out a year ago. The neck was a reject with a very bad twist! But I did want to see how they worked. I run a guitar building "club" at the school where I work with a small group of students (we meet 1 lunchtime a week). It is a great way to model and show the action of the truss rod.Originally Posted by fender3x

Way to combine work and pleasure. The twisted neck sucks, but nice to have it for pedagogical purposes...and maybe for a scratch build at some point.
