satvic -> RE: carbon / graphite rods vs. ebony inert ? (Sep. 7 2010 16:00:35)

to recap: To avoid excessive buzz (i.e. Condes) it's good to leave let flex a bit, hence 1 rod insert recommendation. In fact, I want to avoid as much buzz as possible, similar to Jeff Sigurdson setup, about 2.5mm on 12 fret with virtually no buzz. I'd like to avoid splitting the neck blank in 2, don't really have any rosewood or extra ebony for the insert, however, I can route a channel and fill it with epoxy per attached diagram. To the "outside" you guys mean as close to the back of the neck surface, right? Thanx for all the input! P.S. this guitar will be traveling a lot all over :) I feel like i must reinforce the neck with carbon, not wood.
