I realize this is semi-off topic; I'm also trying to remember the website for instrument manufacturer/builders. Seemed to be geared towards home builders, etc. Thanks.

www.mimf.com ?

depends on the materials they are made of....I have seen a few Hawaiian 's with truss rods, but generally because the neck is so thick, no.

Spudmaster, that's it exactly(love your sig. Words of wisdom). :)
Thank you, & thanks also, musiclogic for confirming my suspicion.
Now, does anyone feel like babysitting my 3 unruly children for a few hours so's I can get this thing half-done, thereafter, in keeping w/my tradition, to be buried by other projects? :rolleyes:

send your kids my way....I have a lot of power tools and machines in my shop to keep them amused.....but you provide the clean up....LOL

I got that from a video game called " Guitar Hero", If any of you thought playing a regular guitar was anoying, wait till you try the crappy hollow plastic thing you use for that game... *shudders
