Which do you prefer and why?
I used a carbon fiber rod in my first build and it was super easy, but I've noticed that Truss Rods are on average about $10 less cost wise (ie LMI) and DO off an additional level of adjustment. If this is your preference, which style do you prefer? LMI offers something nice looking for $18 (https://www.lmii.com/truss-rods/3272...875-x-316.html), Stewmac's looks a little more basic for $14 (https://www.stewmac.com/luthier-tool...truss-rod.html)... or is there something else?
Carbon fiber is just a little easier to use but as I shop around I find its a little difficult to find the exact dimensions I want (1/4" x 3/8") at a reasonable price. Someone recommended Dragon Plate but they only have 1/8" x 3/8" (for a really good price) ... so is it acceptable to embed the 2 pieces together rather than 1 solid 1/4" x 3/8" piece?
So I ask again, which do you prefer and why?
