CARBON FIBER NECK REINFORCEMENTS
Carbon fiber reinforcements serve many applications in the making of musical instruments, where its material properties of low mass and high stiffness make it an ideal choice. Carbon fiber reinforcements may be used with truss rods, in various configurations, for neck reinforcement in wood necks. Short strips can be used to strengthen the head stock joint. Carbon fiber reinforcements may be used in guitar bracing, where it can be used in combination with balsa or spruce as a stiffening laminate. Strips may be used in lattice support bracing of the top plate to allow greater thinning for increased response. Some makers have found other creative applications in using carbon fiber strips as longitudinal internal supports for reducing stress on top sounding plates. Due to its high strength in compression/ tension and low mass, and its excellent bonding with epoxy and cyanoacrylate adhesives, carbon fiber is the doorway for new generation instrument making. The limit of usage is imagination!
