Best article on RiC truss rods I’ve seen. Thanks for the time and effort to put this together.

Great and actually really concise article (if you think about all it covered).

The beheaded ‘57 4000 headstock photo added a dramatic touch of horror! 😅

I have two used 4001’s I purchased in 1996. Their hairpin rods have not needed adjustment since. Also, they have the nice-looking “wavy Grover” tuning gears. Again, no problem with having the back covers “exploding” off!
