Hello there, First poster.

I bought J5 squire tele and it's got a warn out truss rod. I would like to know what is the key size for ir so I can buy the right tool from stew mac. Is it the 1/8"or some other size.

Thanks.

PS - Sorry if I am double posting but I could not find any info on it online.

If truss rod head is worn out , the right allen wrench may not work . Cheap allen wrench can worn out allen head . I see this cheap tool in some Fender guitar case. Good quality allen wrench must fit tight.

You may need the " gripper truss rod wrench " from Stew Mac

http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Truss_rods/ ... nches.html

At home It is usefull to have a complete kit of good quality Allen wrench .
Best is to have 2 kits , England and Metric size. You'll have a good choice for all job.

If truss rod head is worn out , maybe a bigger size will fit ?
