Jimothey Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 (edited) I'm starting to make my own necks and been looking at truss rods and can't decide which ones are best to get? I've seen spoke wheel and hex key nut ones that are the same price but don't know which one to go for? Whats everyone's opinions on which are best etc? Thanks in advance Edited April 10, 2022 by Jimothey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downunderwonder Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Gimme a spoke wheel any day if all else is equal. Hex keys get lost. Hex key holes round out in desperation with the wrong key. I reckon a spoke wheel should be almost immune to those issues. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warwickhunt Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 My heart sinks when i see a bass with a hex key TR adjustment... fine if I'm the 1st owner but you just know if it is used then someone will have boogered about and used the incorrect size key. Never happens with a spoke wheel + you never need to take off scratchplates or even worse, slacken the neck (durrrrh Fender). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloke_zero Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Spoke is great - feels like it's easier to get small adjustments too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
