MikeRom Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Mine came with one but others did't get it. I think the music stores sometimes pull that stuff out and keep it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L5Larry Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Any standard socket wrench or nut driver of the proper size will work just fine. Available anyplace that sells tools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobv Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 A new guitar should have a trussrod wrench in the case pocket. Looks like a little pipe (of course you wouldn't know about that). Has a small #2 phillips head screwdriver built in to the end of the handle, just for convenience for removing the trussrod cover screws, and the business end of it is a 5/16" thin-walled socket. A standard socket set probably has a thicker-walled socket that's even larger where the ratchet attaches so it might not fit in the access rout, besides a ratched head without an extension might scratch up the headstock veneer (I point this out because I suspect that if the OP had a 1/4" drive socket set with extensions and a t-handle, and if they fit, he wouldn't have asked). Nut-drivers are nice but usually aren't deep enough for the acorn nut. Either set of tools would not be cheap, so it's probably more economical to just buy a trussrod wrench. Oh, happy birthday, thunder. Coupla days late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
