@swepri never seen that yet, I've used all sorts and every A has been audio taper and every B has been linear. Are you sure about the US Euro thing?
@tv101 meh, worst case I'll make a new neck, I like making them lol
@tv101 do you believe carbon rods actually do anything? That somehow they'll stop a neck from twisting if it wants to? Personally I think it's a fad t...
