The guy fixing my guitar broke the truss rod of my guitar by accident. Sad thing is, it's my fave vintage LP that i recently got from my uncle that the dude busted. He's offering me to replace it but I don't want him to replace it given the intrinsic value and the many memories involved with the guitar. I just want him to fix the guitar- even if i have to pay for it (I know its expensive but I don't care!). Now what I want to ask is what is the best truss rod that I can put in a gibson les paul? There's a lot of truss rods out there such as Graphite reinforced adjustable truss rods, dual action truss rods etc. To all techies out there, which truss rod out there is the best and the strongest?
"Lets see… well I play the guitar and when I'm not playing the guitar, I think about playing the guitar. My other favorite instrument, is the guitar and if I aspired to play any other instrument, it would be the guitar...

I can’t sing so I sing through my guitar. So when the sound guy says: “Your guitar is too loud!” I think: "Why does he never say that to the vocalist?"
