Don't see any access to the truss rod at the head stock and the website says 'carbon fiber' truss rod. Looking to purchase a Pisgah banjo, but would like an adjustable truss rod. Any thoughts?

	canerods says: 1/14/2015 6:07:26 PM So the obvious question is: Does a carbon fiber truss rod provide enough stability to eliminate neck relief issues? Anyone have experience with this?
	morgensd says: 1/14/2015 8:14:23 PM I have had my Possum for a year. No problems with the neck at all. You could call Patrick and ask about their experience. You could search on BHO for info on carbon fiber truss rods or post a question on the Build, Setup, Repair forum.
	Patagorda says: 1/14/2015 10:45:41 PM Yes, ask Patrick. He is a pro and a reliable source. My Rambler's neck is also straight and shows no signs of a need to adjust. But check with Patrick.

	canerods says: 1/15/2015 2:09:13 PM Patrick from Pisgah Banjo's says that all of our banjo's are now built with a LMI 2-way adjustable truss rod!! Fantastic!
	ancient tones says: 1/16/2015 7:47:34 AM Thanks for confirming that!
