In addition to bridge parts, KTS manufactures truss rods and reinforcements that are placed inside the neck to correct deformation caused by string tension and external conditions such as temperature and humidity. The photo shows Titanium Neck Reinforcement, a neck reinforcement material used by Ibanez, Atelier Z, MTD (Michael Tobias Design), and many other brands. It is a product for manufacturers and builders, and is not well known to the general public, but our products are helping in invisible ways as "KTS Inside".

It wasn't long after the bridge saddle was commercialised that they received an inquiry from a manufacturer in Nagano, Japan, which is known as one of the best neck makers in Japan. They wanted to use it as a reinforcement material for both sides of the truss rod. Since then, it was adopted for use in the basses of a Japanese luxury brand. Later on, it has also been accepted by many of the world's most popular Ibanez Guitars & Basses.

"The most obvious difference is the way it feels in my hand. The titanium makes it seem more solid but much more alive. Sonically it is more even, and the response is quicker. The note seems to jump off the board. It's a very interesting phenomenon ." -Michael Tobias

The cold-rolled titanium flat bar is used as a reinforcement material for the neck.
It has the right amount of rigidity and flexibility.
Also stabilizes the neck and allows balanced adjustment with the truss rod.
This titanium rod has been adopted and trusted by many brands including Ibanez guitars and basses.
