houndman55 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Hey, Why the heck doesn't Martin use truss rods? I mean Gibson does, Fender does etc. etc. Heck, even their 12 string models don't have a truss rod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E-minor7 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 You can adjust - it's just in the other end ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorrisrownSal Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 In the sound hole. You need a hex key... Martin makes a long one that you will need for modern Martins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DenverSteve Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Martin does use truss rods. Why would you think they don't? They used truss rods (reinforcing rods) for years then in 1985 they started using adjustable truss rods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
