Tom,
I noticed in the youtube video that you grabbed a tool to tweak the truss rod (at the headstock).
Elsewhere, you've said that the correct size is 5/32"
I can't find a 5/32" allen wrench (the tool version, with handle) to save my life.
Is that what you were using in the video?
If so, do you know where they can be purchased?
Did it have a rounded end?
Thanks for the info.

correct we have some that have the ball head and some are straight. i'm pretty sure i got most of them from mcmaster carr. they shouldn't be hard to find. try googleing allen drivers.

Thanks Tom,
Found the long 5/32 ball end, and also a 1.5 mm smaller one (for the saddles) at McMaster-Carr online. They arrived today. Life is good.
