Professional dual-action truss rod for precise neck relief control. The StewMac Hot Rod Low-profile 2-Way Truss Rod is engineered for luthiers and instrument techs who demand strength, accuracy, and low-depth installation. This truss rod easily fits thinner necks and helps avoid excessive wood removal during installation.

The rod features a nickel-plated sleeve and smooth-turning nut that adjusts with a 4mm Allen wrench (not included). Designed for a straight 1/4"-wide x 3/8"-deep channel, this truss rod is ideal for guitars, banjos, and basses. Its powerful 2-way action corrects both upbow and backbow with precision. Shrink-wrapped steel rods eliminate rattling for quiet operation.
