Truss Rod(s) 320 & 325

I have a posting on this in the guitar section, but maybe I should be posting here. Where can I find out information on which versions of these guitars had single vs double truss rods. The 325C58 has a single rod system, but is that the only one ?

I have had a 325V59, a 325/12V63, and 3 325V63 models. I believe they all had single truss rods.

All the Vs I owned have had single rods. The late '70s and early '80s 320s I owned, however, had double rods.

My '64 325 and '80 320 both have dual truss rods.

Hmmm, seems a question for John Hall if he knows; How come some have one and some have two?The mid 80s 325 -12 I had used just one...

Yes, very confusing, the ones I have owned 325c58 and 320 (80s) all have one rod. But some literature (non Ric) that I have read and feddback here seem to imply a two rod system in some models.

It's just a matter of how the truss rod Nazi feels about you on any given day.

Then we can no doubt be looking forward to a TTR option sometime in the vague future.

If the Truss Rod Nazi were like the Soup Nazi, then some would get no truss rods!

"No truss rods for you!" [in the voice of the Soup Nazi]

My '93 650 D has a single truss rod.

Gary, the truss rod Nazi hates mandolins so they don't get any.

Good one John, I didn't even think of mandolins!
