Good Luck.
I wish I knew what size that wrench is. I mean, I got one, but if I lose it I'd like to know... |

Location: ranson,wva | the 1567 is a ssb, only made one year. i know how to set up a standard truss rod neck but this is the first o' ive had with a kbar neck....the action is just a bit low for my playing style(heavy right hand) as im getting a slight buzz if i hit 'em a bit too hard..jason |

Location: Warren,Pa. | Ignore the fact that it's a K-Bar neck. All that means to you is they've replaced a lot of wood with aluminum. It's a standard trussrod. Just adjust like any other (1/8 turn at a time).
