What size nut driver do I need to purchase to adjust my truss rods? My neck is too straight. Should I adjust in full turns? Half turns? Quarter turns?

1/4"

Here's a link to the tool RIC sells: http://www.rickenbacker.com/cart.asp?vi ... ccessories

Adjust in quarter turns, wait a day or two for the neck to settle in, then repeat as necessary.

Rick, go to any site that sells tools online, and order an Xcelite L8 nutdriver. This is the same driver RIC sells, but you can get them a lot cheaper.

Do I leave the strings tight while I adjust? Do I losen, adjust and tune to pitch? Or do I loosen adjust, wait two days and tune to pitch?

Leave the strings at pitch at all times. I guess we need to do a refresher course at MARF III, eh? :lol: :lol: :lol:
