hey amazing! great article
the truss rod history with his father Rem chamfering the nut was fascinating, I never knew about that!
And it's funny: I never knew the development history of Bigby's, but after I got my first one I wondered why they didn't just drill holes in the roller bar.
Now I know the answer: they did originally, but strings were breaking and Ren came up with the fix they still use.
Thanks for writing/posting that.
Here's to The Honorable Ren-aissance man!
