Does this line have a truss rod? I cannot find anywhere online that indicates such.

So I have three cheap Ibanez guitars:
Artwood AC240 - an all mahogany style of okoume wood
Artwood Vintage (prototype) - same as above but much, much nicer
Advanced Acoustic 54 - Sapele body Spruce top
All three have solid tops and laminated bodies.
The two artwood neck feels *EXACTLY* like a Taylor GC. Same profile and almost the same scale length.
The AA model's neck is a little "chunkier", feeling thicker in the middle.
Yes - they all have truss rods - in fact I just tweaked my AA a bit today. The truss rods are located in the sound hole. The AW's are harder to see and you would htink its not there - but it really is and you need the LONG allen wrench that it comes with.
Again, these are the cheap guitars the recent GC hthreads were about. These are *NOT* even medium-range guitars (well the middle one was a proto and I liked it better than my Martin 000-15, but thats a unique thing. Generally, these are beginner level guitars but I want to use them in really rough-and-tumble locations and, honestly I'm madly in love with them.
I know it sounds ridiculous but these are legit good enough guitars.
