How many kind of truss rod?
There is no real answer, as anyone could make a new kind of truss rod, for example a licorice truss rod. Perhaps you mean that a truss rod could be under stress or under compression, or be designed for both.

Is silk and steel strings safe for a nylon string classical guitar with a truss rod?
not quite. the truss rod will in fact reinforce the neck, but the bridge area can really suffer from high tension. not to mention the saddle nut and tuners. When a CF Martin guitar was custom built for this kind of versatility it used a totally different engineering and it was much more acoustic than classical. why ruin a guitar?
What is a truss rod?
It's a long rod lodged up in the neck of a guitar used for keeping the neck of the guitar straight. The truss rod is used to allow the neck to bend either way in response to the tension of the strings. Without it, there would be no steel string guitars, the neck wouldn't be able to handle the tension of the strings. Many beginners think that adjusting the truss rod will lower the "action" or how high the strings are from the fret board of the guitar. This is not entirely true and it is probably more of a Nut and saddle/bridge adjustment that is needed.
Is the epiphone pr 4e a good first guitar?
It is a good guitar if your just starting out. They are cheaper because epiphone cuts corners on the final touches of the acoustic guitar, which is easily fixed. If your planning to buy it online, I'd suggest taking it to a guitar shop and having them setup your guitar (ask for fret setting and truss rod adjusting), as the frets are usually sharp on the edges and makes it difficult to play. It will cost around $20. This will make that guitar play like a $500 one.
Can we install a truss rod to a guitar neck which originally doesn't have a truss rod?
In short you can do, but it's a very lengthly process and will cost you a fair bit of cash. Usually the way to do it (assuming your neck is deep enough to accommodate the truss rod) is to remove the fretboard, then route a channel down the centre of the neck under the board, install the rod with the adjustment nut at the headstock end, then reglue the fretboard. Though TRUSS me, it's a lot harder than I made it sound just then! I'd recommend taking it to your local repair place to get a quote and don't try it yourself unless you're a master router. If the problem you're trying to fix with a truss rod is that you're guitar neck is slightly warped, then a slightly easier option would be to get the frets out, plane/sand the fretboard level and then get it re-fretted.
What is the difference between an epiphone sg 310 and an epiphone sg 400?
the only difference i am aware of is that one has a larger pickguard......i have the epiphone sg 400 with the smaller guard....both are nice guitars. --stan the guitar man The G400 has a solid mahony body - the g310 has alder The G400 has a set neck - the g310 has bolt on The G400 has alnico V humbuckers the G310 has open coil humbuckers The G400 has trapezoidal inlays - the g310 has dots I think that's it The G400 is a nice guitar and an "upmarket" version, it retails at about £100 more than the G310. I believe the 400 says Gibson on the truss rod cover.
What is the truss rod in a guitar?
A guitar's truss rod is a long metal rod that runs from the body of the guitar along the back of the guitar's neck all the way to the headstock. It's purpose is to provide strength to the guitar neck against the extreme tension of all the guitar strings. Also, without the stability provided by truss rods, guitar necks would have to be made from much harder and stronger woods to take the tension of the strings, which would in turn raise costs significantly. The use of a truss rod allows manufacturers to make guitar necks out of much softer woods or composite materials. It is also a means to stabilize and adjust the relief of the guitar neck (forward curve).
