Default Installing the Truss Rod

Here Larry is installing the truss rod.

The fretboard position is set





Now the truss rod, with the mahogany glue shield attached, is glued into place. Larry is using a gasket maker along with white instrument glue. I've asked Larry for an explanation. Will post when I receive it.
Larry Replies: "The red is silicone rubber to bed the end blocks and pad the middle of the rod. Insurance against truss rod rattle. The white is to anchor the wood liner to the top of the slot."

You're longing to be
But it all comes out on the inside
Eventually
