Issue 66 July 24, 2008 Easy way to beef up the neck Strengthening a square-tube Martin truss rod If you ever reset the neck on a 70s-era Martin, here's a tip you'll like: straightening and stiffening Martin’s hollow tube truss rod with carbon fiber. Dan Erlewine, July 24, 2008 Before 1967, Martin guitars used a much-loved iron T-bar for neck reinforcement. In ’67 they switched to a, 3/8' square. These tubes weren’t as stiff as the T-bar, so many Martins of this era have a somewhat “spongy” neck that pulls into an up-bow and stays there. In 1985 they introduced the that they use today.
When I’m resetting the neck on one of these hollow-tube Martins, I take advantage of having the neck off by gluing a inside the hollow tube. A lightweight superstiff material, carbon keeps the neck straight, and adds a significant improvement in tone. Here’s how to do it. Notched Straightedge The tells me the same thing: the neck is straight. I’m clamping it up to make sure the truss rod stays straight for accepting the carbon rod: a in the repair vise holds the peghead while a block of wood supports the heel. Doing a dry run: Our 1/4' x.200' slides easily into the tube. There’s a little gap beside this rectangular rod in the square tube.
Here I’m doing a test-fitting a strip of.020' plastic, which creates a snug fit. (A thin strip of hardwood would also be a good choice of shim material.) Now that I know the pieces fit, I'll pull them out and set up for gluing. Mini Cam Clamp Which truss rod do we use in our Dreadnought Guitar Kit? The Stewart-MacDonald Dreadnought Kit is built to a plan drawn by Don MacRostie. (We include the plan for free with the kit.) Don specified the two-way adjustable Hot Rod Truss Rod for this kit, so the guitar you build will have a fully adjustable neck.

Martin Beam Kit For Mac Viper
Watch out for the heat from those lamps! Don't get too close, and move the lamps every minute or so. Mix enough slow setting to fill about 1/3 of a. Pour about half the glue into the tube.
Protect the neck by taping it off as you see here. (Hot hide glue would also work well for this if you can work fast enough before it cools.) In the photo at left, I'm using an old round as a ramrod to be sure the glue gets where it needs to.
Martin Beam Kit For Machines
Martin MAC 2000 Beam XB™ / MAC 2000 Beam™ Powerful Beam Fixtures Convert any MAC 2000 Wash XB™ or MAC 2000 Wash™ into a powerful beam fixture in minutes Posted: 8/19/2010 Martin Professional has now made it possible to easily convert two of the most advanced wash lights on the market - the Martin MAC 2000 Wash XB and MAC 2000 Wash - into a powerful beam fixture with an inexpensive conversion kit that installs in minutes. Ideal for any large scale event where both beam and wash effects are required such as stadium and arena shows, the conversion kit gets the most out of existing lighting gear, eliminating the need to invest in a completely new fixture.
Simple, inexpensive upgrade The MAC 2000 Beam XB upgrade kit consists of a new front lens module with micro-Fresnel lens and a set of four beam effect gobos/apertures. The kit installs in less than 5 minutes and also works with the MAC 2000 Wash. Components can be easily uninstalled and the fixture returned to a standard Wash configuration at any time. Super bright The 1500 W MAC 2000 Beam XB delivers a fat, tight and amazingly bright hard edge beam, perfect for big beam effects and long throws. Even at very narrow beam angles, output is outstanding with very high intensity. An electronic ballast offers hot-lamp re-strike and the advantage of flicker-free light. High efficacy and efficient optics The extremely high output from the MAC 2000 Beam XB is made possible by a combination of high efficacy and very efficient optics.
If users require the fixture to match the power output of existing 1200 W fixtures, a reduced 1200 W mode can be employed, saving energy and increasing lamp life. Compact yet loaded Despite a surprisingly compact size, the MAC 2000 Beam XB includes all the proven features of the MAC 2000 Wash XB including full color mixing, color wheel, smooth dimming, strobe, variable CTC and zoom (wash effect). Seamless color mixing plus color wheel A CMCY color mixing system offers a broad spectrum of colors. A four-position (plus open) color wheel is interchangeable, allowing designers to customize shades and complement perfectly the color mixing system. Smooth dimming and strobe The fixture allows for very smooth fading via a combined dimmer/shutter. Mechanical dimming is from 0 to 100%, and the shutter offers rapid strobe effects up to 10 Hz with instant open and blackout.
In addition to mechanical dimming, an optional dimming wheel can replace the color wheel. Color temperature flexibility A continuously variable color correction system adds the flexibility to gradually and smoothly increase or decrease color temperature. It is also useful when working alongside tungsten halogen or for smoothing out color temperature inconsistencies when working alongside older lamps. Beam effect gobos A gobo wheel with 4 static beam effect gobos/apertures plus open allows for wider or tighter beam effects as well as multiple beams or cone looks.
Zoom option wash effect With a motorized zoom option, the fixture generates a wash effect instead of a hard-edge beam. The wash effect can be zoomed from tight to wide. Proven reliability The MAC 2000 Beam XB keeps the same optical train, effects and form as the MAC 2000 Wash XB, guaranteeing advantages such as proven reliability. Easy to use and maintain The MAC 2000 Beam XB is constructed of rugged, modular components for easy maintenance.
It has an auto-ranging switch-mode for worldwide use and features the no hassle reliability that has made the MAC 2000 series a market leader. © 1999-2010 Martin Professional Middle East.
