 WHY THE BAR INSTEAD OF A TRUSS ROD?

In conventional guitars, the neck, fingerboard and truss rod assembly provide the structural support for the tension of the strings. Such conventional necks are under a static load from the tension of the strings and are not “free” to resonate.

The Treker patented Tension_Free Floating Neck features a steel or graphite bar that provides full support of string tension, and frees the neck to impart outstanding tone and brilliance to the instrument. With Treker’s patented Tension_Free Floating Neck, the fingerboard acts as your playing surface only _ with virtually no dead spots and an ease of play that is without peer at any price.
