I have a 5mm carbon fiber rod to have a linear opposing force to the string tention, this way the soundboard can also be thinner.
I`m not 100% sure this is the solution because its round and it can bent, i might get a square tube instead and it will go throught the entire neck, all the way to where a guitar heel would be, behind the bridge.
Also, this will be a nylon stringed instrument, so the tension is a bit less.
