I just wanted to be sure about which length and type of Truss-Rod is best to use in a bolt-on modern style (Superstrat/Blackmachine) neck with a 25.5" scale length and 24 frets ?
I'm looking at them now and they have them in 440mm, 445mm and 460mm length versions. I'm assuming the longest i can fit in the neck the better, which would be the 460mm, but would the length interfere with threaded inserts in the neck heel if i fit them in a AANJ/Blackmachine type of neck screw layout ?
I want to use the rod & flat bar style with the allen-key adjustment that will allow me add a forward or backward bow but there seems to be two different types.
The same seller is selling some as 'Double' type and others as 'Dual' type and they make the point that one is different to the other.
Can someone please explain the difference between these two and also let me know which one it is that i want.
This is the one they are calling the 'Dual' type;

And this is what they're calling the 'Double' type;

I had it worked out that to do what i wanted it was the first one, the 'Dual' type that i needed but seeing that there's this other kind, the 'Double' type has got me second guessing myself.![Scratch :scratch: :scratch:](http://www.sevenstring.org/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/scratchhead.gif)
Any help would be greatly appreciated. The last thing i want is to find out after finishing my neck that i've fitted the wrong type of truss-rod!![Scream :scream: :scream:](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/scream.gif)
