Re: Gibson?
The teen years had wider fretboards and larger bulkier necks in comparison to models built later with Truss Rods. The body's air volume is slightly larger on teen models requiring a larger tone guard size to fit correctly. Many teens can have excessive bass tubbiness in comparison to the more balanced refined Loar years with Maple bodies and backs. Your Question:How Important is the Truss Rod? The Answer: Not Very Important if you like larger wider necks anyway.
