Does anyone know what size tool I need to adjust my truss rod on my Drop Top 7? I am on tour and I left it at home (or just lost it). I need to buy another one from somewhere. Thanks guys for any help or pointers!

By the way, does Tom use a vintage-style truss rod?

5/32" Allen.
Single curved rod.

Thanks Tom! It's kind of interesting that some builders state that the modern 2-way truss rod is the way to go but the most expensive guitars still feature the vintage one :) I guess it's better tonewise. By the way, I sent you a semi-urgent email last week about my order. Hope to hear from you soon!

have always preferred the way the curved single rod works, never saw the need for the extra metal of the 2 way rod. also, the 2 way rods can sometimes be in the neutral zone which i would definitely not want.
