Help: Need This Type of Hex Allen Wrench

[shredmaster26]

Mga papi, saan po kaya may nabibilhan na gantong klase ng trust rod adjuster (hex allen wrench) dito sa Metro Manila?

[greasykid]

Tingin ka sa RJ ng ganyang pang-Taylor. O kaya sa Crescendo, yung pang-Gibson.

Or you can try sa hardware stores, yung parang ganto:



They call it nut driver or socket driver.

[Musikerochan]

pwede ka ring magpasadya: isang hex socket tapos ipa-welding mo sa kapirasong metal rod.

[starkiller]

get the one specifically designed for guitars (angled driver, thin walls). 

even if the socket size is correct, the non-angled ones cannot reach the socket itself (tumatama sa headstock area) while the non-thin walled ones will not fit the truss rod socket cavity.

Hardware wrenches would technically fit the truss rod nut, but it won't be of much use since you won;t be able to turn it given the narrow spacing of the truss rod cavity.

I used the one na binebenta sa handyman for my LP. Di sya angled, pero no problems naman so far. Fit and naiikot naman mabuti. ^^

I just bought this type of hex allen wrench last night from a electrical/hardware store, it did not fit with the truss rod cavity. Kelangan ko pala yung angled handle/driver... buti na lang P75 lang bili ko. I went and inquired at Lyric, RJ, and JB Music... to no avail, wala daw sila. I haven't tried at Audiophile, Crescendo, and Sound Essentials. Sana may mahanap ako nito... my newly acquired guitar buzzes badly at the 1st-5th fret. =(

+100 here papz. I specifically need an angled one and looks like kelangan manipis nga yung wall kasi baka di ko maiikot kasi baka tumama sa truss rod cavity. =(

Salamat papz. Ano to paset-up ko na lang derestso yung guitar? Pwede siguro, pero I'm thinking kelangan ko din talaga magkaroon nito para ako na lang mag-aadjust ng truss rod when needed. Pero iniisip ko rin paset-upan na lang din yung guitar deretso.... bigyan kaya ako sa Guitar Salon ng free na gantong truss rod tool?

Haha .. mali lang siguro yung size na nabili mo .. anyway, better to buy yung panggitara na nga lang tlga if you're having issues. 

[shredmaster26]

Hmmmm... mukhang pwede to sir, di ko lang alam kung saan magpapasadya nito.

Nabili ko yung multiple sizes papz... pero di ko maipasok dun sa cavity yung hex kasi di kaya ng deresto dun sa truss rod cavity, kelangan angled. =(

Via postal mail. For sure dumaan yan ng customs. I don't remember kung nagbayad ako ng customs for this one, pero hindi pa ako nagbabayad ng more than 50 pesos sa customs ever for any spare part item.

Di ka bibigyan dun kahit turnilyong bulok. I doubt kung may tinda silang ganyan.
