Damaged truss rod nut - advice on repair needed - Epi LP special 2

[swenn]

Hello All,

 

I recently decided to do a setup on my Epi LP special 2, late. Even without changing my strings (which it needs), I thought I would have a practice following the instructions in a book. The setup has increased the playability and sound quality of my axe heaps. But in the process, I think I damaged the truss rod nut (Allen key type).

 

Are these nuts replaceable and where can I get them from?

 

Any help is appreciated.

I think the recess in the truss rod that the hex wrench fits into is integral to the actual truss rod (I may be wrong). I think you may be out of luck trying to find a replacement nut. Maybe I'm wrong.

There's not much you can do to replace the worn allen head. It is integral with the truss rod.

But, never fear. There's a tool for almost every problem you can imagine.
