Differences in Truss Rods

The terms "2-way" and "dual action" are often used interchangeably in the industry, but our technical guides highlight the specific mechanical nuances of each system. We explain how these modern components represent a significant leap from vintage single-action rods, providing the active adjustment capabilities required for contemporary high-performance necks.

Mechanical Authority Over the Fretboard

Our resources describe the interaction between the stationary and moving rods in a dual-action system. We provide diagrams showing how these rods force the neck into either a bow or a hump. This technical understanding is essential for correcting "back-bow" in necks, and our guides ensure you know exactly how much torque to apply during a setup.
