Truss Rod
Once the neck/body assembly is completely dry, the truss rod can be installed.
To install the truss rod:
1.Test fit the truss rod into the truss rod chan- nel. The masking tape side faces down into the channel.
—If the face of the truss rod is higher than the face of the neck and body, then the truss rod channel needs to be deepened before continuing to the next step.
—If the face of the truss rod is flush with the face of the neck and body, then continue on to the next step.
2.Using an epoxy glue, secure the truss rod into the truss rod channel so the truss rod cap screw head can be seen through the sound hole (Figure 6).
Figure 6. Correct truss rod position.
3.Wipe the glue squeeze-out from the truss rod with a damp cloth.
Position Dots
The position dot holes have been predrilled into the face of the fingerboard.
To install the position dots:
1.Place a small drop of glue in each position dot hole.
2.Using a hammer and a scrap piece of wood, tape the position dots into each of the holes.
