The problem is my wallet is kind of empty to begin with.. heheEmpty the wallet! Its for a good cause. Looking good dude!
I'm probably going to make a truss rod like the one here, Carbon-Glass Truss Rod | Cycfi ResearchThumbs up for this project! Looking really good so far, and the Saber is my favorite Ibby
Really curious how the bamboo neck turns out!
If your guitar should suffer from neck-dive you can always add some weight to the body, for example increase the electronics cavity and put some steel blocks into it (heavy metal ftw!), or make an extra cavity for it. The further away form the neck, the more effective.
I haven't got experience with aluminium trussrods, but they should decrease the mass of your neck.
Awesome defiantly getting them from there. Too bad the the particular model is out of stock.

Cool link, thanks! Yeah it sounds indeed very promising, I'll have to try and make a carbon fibre trussrod, too
Nice progress on the headstock!
If bamboo really is suitable for guitar building (wich I really hope), then it is probably the most environmentally friendly material for it. You're doing some relevant research here![]()
But I’m not quite sure how this method will work and how the alignment of the bamboo will cope with the stress from the strings. If someone can enlighten me whether it would be stronger to do a scarf joint or if it wouldn’t matter.![]()
Wow thanks for the info. You did inspire me with your truss rod design. How efficient does it function compared to a regular truss rod?Hi! I got here from link-backs to my site (Cycfi Alpha | Cycfi Research). I've been researching into the use of alternative materials for guitar building. The results are pretty amazing. CF and Bamboo complement each other's tone. I'm currently doing an audio demo of the thingy.
Check out the site for more information. I tried to be as extensive as I can with my research.
Here's a pic of the final Carbon Fiber-Bamboo Guitar prototype:

Bamboo cuts pretty smooth, its only a little harder than maple.
Decided on making a Scarf Joint.
