    GS, I looked a long time for the Strat head so I'm going to hang onto it. I wanted one so bad in the 80's and I couldn't afford one!

    Hi man!
    I´ve just seen your LP guitars on LP forum.
    Where did you buy them?
    They are amazing!

    I'm selling a Yamaha Pacifica 1221 at the moment also. Let me know if you are interested in getting rid of that ec36. Perhaps we can work something out.

    Nice Washburn ec36. I like what you have done with the frets. It actually makes the higher notes playable. Let me know if you ever plan on selling it. My email is darreno27@gmail.com

    Hey Lex, thanks for the answer. Ive been trying to figure this one out for awhile. I wish I would have saved that pic of a real 50's truss rod end. my neighbor and I made a bunch of anchors out of 3/8" brass rod stock about 5/8" long and tapped them for 3/16" truss rod stock, on his lathe and bridgeport mill, a few months back, but didn't know if that was the right material or not. thanks for the confirmation, Brad

    Yes, the trashed old mid 50's neck I have has the brass anchor, also one I reboarded also had it. So to be vintage correct that would be it, but nobody will see it. I have a late 60's neck that has a flat, steel anchor
    You can get brass bar stock, just cut it to the desired size, drill and tap it. Remember to use loctite on the thread and peen the end real good, don't want it working loose. I used the 3/8 size, the length depends on how deep you are going to do your rod, might want it longer or shorter. You could use steel, it is stronger and you can weld the anchor end instead of peening. It's all personal preference.

    Hey Lex,
    I read a post where you mentioned a "correct brass truss rod anchor"! I have seen a picture of a vintage anchor but never saved it. It looked like 3/8 " brass round stock about 5/8" - 3/4" long w/a steel rod attached> have you seen this and is it vintage correct? I'm building three pauls right now and am trying to be as accurate as possible. if you have any info regarding this I'd appreciate it thanks ,Brad
