Can I pick your brains? How would you solve this puzzle....

[blackburn mark]

Truss rods are quite often fairly embedded in the neck,

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrK-DVFFw4g (a series of 8 videos how to repair a broken one!)

but I concur, that if I can utilise any opportunities that existing channel presents, it's gotta be the way to go

you learn something every day :) i allways assumed the truss rod was a single rod.... youve got your work cut out there trying to work around one of those in the video :(

i think i would sooner make a neck from scratch than go through all that pain of stripping one... now the drilling looks a bit less desprate

i think i would still try my best not to drill... what about removing the frets and cutting a funky (strategic) pattern in the fretboard and bonding the wiring behind an inlay ??

can LEDs be run in series ? how thin could you go with wiring ?

im going to have nightmares about drilling tonight:lol:
