Off topic, I've always seen truss rods as a symptom of manufacturing defects. I've never considered them what made Epiphones great.
Not manufacturing defects. They correct the natural tendency of wood to change shape with temperature and humidity.
Kay and other companies used stiff bars of non-adjustable steel in the neck to keep them from warping, but results were mixed.
Truss rods let you fix and adjust to different climates and conditions.
