For a double-action truss rod accessible at the peg head, do you have to have the filler strip of wood?

@TheFacelessBrain No, only if you want to use one.

Thank you. Glad you are finding the videos useful. I would use an oil finish. Check out my video on Tru oil.

Hi there, just a quick question...is the shim glued to the top of the truss rod and the sides of the channel?
Cheers

@IggyFunk Yes, glue it to the rod and sides of the channel.

Great video, just a quick question. Does the single action truss rod tighten the neck or does it loosen it? I'm talking about a strat that has its bolt at the heel of the neck. Thank you!

@ejSignStrat Single way or one way truss rods are for counter-reacting the tension of the strings. Which means they only "tighten"the neck as you put it. Double action truss rods go both ways.
