I have a MEx strat that is about 5 years old.Does anyone know what size allan key it uses for truss rod adjustment? I'm unable to figure out the right size.

I would guess so. As long as they are (rod) the type up in the Headstock. Those at the heal of the neck I couldn't say. I"ve seen some (vintage) that are slotted.

I have a couple Nashville Telecasters and a Standard Tele ( all MIM) and they take the same.

Well this is the strangest type of truss rod I've seen.It's a 98-99 mex stratocaster.The access to it is from the neck (keys) side.The slot is not too deep but seems v large & has grooves inside it.I have a whole bunch of allan wrenches but nothing seems to fit! I don't know their sizes though but I tried all I had from the smallest to biggest.
