Oh right. I always forget about those.
I think they are similar to the classic Gotoh truss rods. I guess the idea behind them is that the u channel adds stiffness to the neck.

@robin
yeah I thought of that, so far it hasn’t really been necessary but when I catch a typo after posting my ocd tends to kick in a bit 😄

@robin
Lookin’ good! Which pickups, tuners, bridge are you going for?

@clinton
I would love to use some Koa, it’s beautiful 

@94dodgedude
What kind of truss rod are you using? It sounds massive…
