Re: Truss rod fix...
as an aside, I don't believe I have no proper cranked ring spanners any more. I had good sets in the uk and have never bought/found/needed any while over here! I had snap on ones in the uk. I hope her second fucking husband appreciates them!
I reflected today upon my socket set though. Bought back in July 2001 when I came here - so 20 years old nearly, and I still have all of them. In fact I've added to them, MX5, MR2 and Alfa specific sizes etc. Amazing, I'm usually really shit with tools

So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

I may show you mine later...
When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

Re: Truss rod fix...
JB has just exploded....
We should have a 'show your socket set' thread.
Curiously I did start a 'show your oscilloscope' thread a few years back, seriously. It didn't get much traction.
I do actually have a valve driven oscilloscope, which is why I started the thread lol. But seriously its pretty shit compared to a digital scope.
Maybe it needs JJ's and a biasing.

Re: Truss rod fix...
I have several socket sets: impact, british, metric & american.
My small american set are thin wall aircraft sockets.
You are welcome to bring the guitar over to try them out (I don't lend them out as I use them all the time for my work).

Box spanner set is pretty cheap.
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

Re: Truss rod fix...
Turns out its actually an 8mm nut. After a bit of judicial carving with the hobby tool, I gained access. Lacquer cracked away from the edges but I'm not concerned about that....
