Location: NJ | The AdamasLongNeck has developed a bit of "buzz" (I'm chaulking-it-up to the godawful heat/humidity lately). The night before we left for FL, I had a gig at a local neighborhood bar that was just opPRESSively hot, the A/C crapped out, so they just opened all the doors. I was fingerpicking this tune & on certain notes I was gettin' a bit of "sitar" effect (sounded REALLY cool on an OpenC tuning of "Tomorrow Never Knows").
I probably should've popped a shim in when I went to heavier strings, as the action was really low. It's 'bout due for a "change", so I'll pop 1(mebbe2) in.
Never tweaked a neck rod thru an access door.
What size is the wrench (also how long)?
There's an IndustrialSupply place down the road that I deal with, and I'll pick one up manana(if I need it). |

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR | On an 1121 and 1115, I used a 1/4 nut-driver.
I'm guessing that it's the same. I really use a Klien 10-in-1 multi-tool-screw-driver-thingie, which is handy cuz it has a 3/16 on it too.
Not alot of leverage, but I figure if I need that much force, I shouldn't be doing it.
Hope that helps... |

Location: Phoenix AZ | You need one with a long handle. Beware of Jeff's advice, 10 inches in his mind is, well you know...
I've got at least 3-4 of them at home but that doesn't do much good from out her on the rock. I 'think' 3/16 is right.

PM me with an address: I'll loan you mine if you'll just get it back to me whenever you're done. It's the factory issued one and it works great!
Blessings... |

Location: South of most, North of few | Cliff, I believe it is a 3/16, but you can use a standard short wrench. I use one all the time. You can only go about 1/4 turn before repositioning the wrench, but it works fine. |

Location: 6 String Ranch | I just use the long one in the top shelf of the tool box. Actually there's two, come get the other one.
Now when adjusting remember the highly technical terminalogy, righty tighty, lefty loosey. |
