anyone know when ernie ball started using the graphite stiffening rods in their necks?
 
i thought they did. maybe i just imagined i read that somewhere?
 
They should consider this - it might take out some of the dead spots on the first string.

Question answered! Case closed. :D :D

Do I need a truss rod that is less themally active than the wood in my neck?
How about an even better marketing element?
Say, depleted plutonium truss rods... anyone? Perfectly stable, always warm to the touch, never freezes on long flights, optical PUs, find your guitar in the dark, contraceptive control, long time players grow antlers...
This is gonna catch on!
