Thank you Charlie. I've been to your shop before with a friend who lives in your neighborhood and brings work to you. We know we can trust your opinions and will definitely go ahead with the additional brace. It appears that the threading of these particular truss rods will allow a 10/32 Fender Bullet truss nut so a small access hole in the new brace should allow us to make adjustments.<br />

Thanks again<br />

Over the years we have done neck resets on perhaps a dozen Mossmans. Much as I liked and respected Stu, his design for the area under the fingerboard extension is faatally flawed, in my (not so) humble opinion. The most common issue we see is the top cracking on either side of the fingerboard and sliding into the soundhole (Stu called this "the agony of de feet"). I feel that if you are going to do a reset you much find a way to reinforce this area of the top - some bracing that goes side to…
Over the years we have done neck resets on perhaps a dozen Mossmans.

I feel that if you are going to do a reset you much find a way to reinforce this area of the top - some bracing that goes side to side and has some strength. Of course the reason Stu did this design was to allow for access to the truss rod and this will be a problem but nonetheless some reinforcing is necessary.
