RG8 TRUSS ROD BROKE MY CAPSLOCK KEY!

[SUPERNASTY528]

HEY GUYS THIS IS MY FIRST THREAD ON SEVENSTRING.ORG SO HERE GOES...

I'M LOOKING TO BUY AN RG8 AND I'M CONCERNED WITH THE FACT THAT IT ONLY HAS ONE (1) TRUSS ROD AS OPPOSED TO TWO (2) WHICH SEEMS TO BE THE NORM FOR 8 STRING GUITARS. IS THIS GOING TO CAUSE A PROBLEM FOR ME CONSIDERING ITS A TITANIUM TRUSS ROD?

If you read the one (1) thread you've posted in, you'd see that two (2) people already answered you:

The RGA8 only has one, pretty sure the 2228 and the Carvin's only have one as well. It's fine. My RGA8 adjusts just as well as my 6's and 7's.

All my 2228's have one truss rod and they are fine.

Op, your CAPS LOCK IS TOO LOUD.

jesus capslock christ man, there's a brick on your shift

YOU NEED TWO (2) TRUSS RODS. THE ONE (1) RG8 TRUSS ROD WON'T HANDLE THE WEIGHT OF YOUR CAPS.

Lol you guys are dicks. This thread is hilarious.

ontopic:
the RG2228 has a titanium reinforced neck, but what about the other 8-stringers on the market? Are their necks made with additional support?

Doesn't the RG8 have the KTS Titanium Reinforcement as well? I thought I saw a pic with the KTS tag dangling on the tuners.

I've seen this as well on at least ONE (1) NGD thread.

BOTH OF MY 9 STRING GUITARS HAVE ONLY ONE TRUSS ROD EACH AND NO EXTRA REINFORCEMENTS WITH NO ISSUES

 

[Cremated]

^WHOA, YOU HAVE TWO (2) NINE (9) STRINGS? An 8 string guitar should be fine with one truss rod. I've seen 6 string basses with one truss rod as well. No issue thurr.

 

[Captain Butterscotch]

WHY ARE YOU GUYS NOT POSTING WITH ALL CAPS? YOU ARE DOING IT WRONG.

OP, YOU DON'T NEED TWO TRUSS RODS, K? YOU'LL BE JUST FINE WITH THE ONE IT COMES WITH.

FREDRIK AND MARTEN'S FIRST FEW LACS ONLY HAD ONE TRUSS ROD (SOURCE).

HOW ABOUT THE M8M THOUGH? CAN ANYBODY CONFIRM 1 OR 2 TRUSS'S ON THEM?

 

[Rook]

^I'M PRETTY SURE IT'S ONE (1) BUT DENDROAPSIS OR WHATEVER HIS NAME IS MAY BE ABLE TO (2) HELP BETTER FOR (4) HE SETS UP THOSE EIGHT (8) STRING GUITARS.

Since when was 2 the norm? If most have 1 then that's the norm lol.

They're fine anyway.
