Why no truss rod in Blackbirds?
Because the carbon fiber hollow neck is super stable and stiff none is needed. In addition to the already stiff and stable neck, there are two carbon tubes running the length of the fretboard that tie into the top bracing. Finally, the composite fretboard is a very stiff and stable. This layered construction provides redundant stability that will never move- we’ve tested it.
