I am really a fan of the Staufer adjustable neck idea and use it as often as the customer aloud me. I should never sacrifice to much wood out from the neck heel. When it comes to the Staufer neck hardware I also think the hex bolt on the shaft looks really big.
I also got a nice Christmas card from them. Yes, Rubner is a nice company to deal with and it is really kind of cool that they still provide all those old stuff that they do. I'd worry that the hole for the hex nut was reducing the shear capacity of the heel more than necessary. I just use a washer under the head of the cap screw. I wondered if that is what the hex nut did. Shoot them an email, and they will answer you promptly. With the Rubner device, how thick of an head block can you use? Does the kit also include the clock key?Īlthough it looks like a person could fabricate the device from a nipple (as commonly used for lamps), and a couple of nuts and a hex coupling it might be less trouble to buy it. I also bore through the heel and put a metal reinforcing plate for the cap head to bear against. I use socket head cap screws and T nuts for my takedown travel guitars. The hex part is the piece that fits into the heel. What is the purpose of the long hex piece sitting below the key? And how much are they David?

I've been using the allen bolt plus threaded insert but this appeals. I just got an email from them and I will be ordering some of them. I'd like to get these things too, let us know what you find out, David.
That was some months ago, it may be different now. When I've looked on the Rubner site for the heel mechanism I couldn't find it. It is my experieince that gravity is erratic The Rubners are only about $300USD and have a hand engraved back plate! I'm using the Rubner six on a side Staufer tuning machines rather than the Rodgers. Does anyone know if there is a source for replica neck hardware for the Staufer Legnani model adjustable neck? I have two Staufer's under construction, but I'm going for a more authentic design rather than using a 2" ss allen bolt and Tee nut.
