This might sound funny, but does anyone have a Truss Rod wrench I can borrow? I'll pay for shipping and send it back to you. Lemme know. Thanks

Daniel, go on-line to some tool companies and order one. What you want is an Xcelite L-8 long shaft 1/4" nutdriver. You can find 'em for $7-8.

I've found that my 6 1n 1 screwdriver works if I remove one of the reversable bits.And it has a deep socket.

If you buy one, you might want to make sure you have a bench grinder too.

The one I got had sides that were far too chick to fit in the route, and grab onto the nut. I had to grind away at the sidewalls of the socket until it would fit in. Works great though---order the $8 tool!

You can get the same tool at home dept or lowes, for around $5.00
