When it comes to adjustable truss rods in mandolins - I can see much virtue in having one as it gives some control over neck relief. My mandolins have a truss rod. If you do not have one, you don't have any control. I'm not very familiar with Fylde mandolins so it's hard to comment, I'm sure...
Fair enough - so if any of you have any guitar making questions this would be a good time to ask them - I've been making instruments for 24 years and I've made quite a few. Ask away!
