Can anyone tell me the correct size Allen wrench that I need to fit the internal neck adjustment nut on my 1985 Legend? I know that I had one, but just can't find one that fits now. Thanks

Hello Roundback,

Please look at the pages #22/23/24/25 of this manual:
ACOUSTIC ONWER\'S MANUAL

It's written a "1/4" hex nut driver".

I hope it can help you.

Jérôme :)

I have the same owner's manual, but the 1/4" hex driver is for the tension rod adjuster at the peg head. My guitar has the Kaman bar, referred to on page 24 under internal neck adjustment. It just says Ovation Allen adjustment wrench-Model#9834-0. Thanks

Mike,
I had the same issue. I finally found the right-size Allen wrench for my K-bar nut- 3/16", according to my micrometer.
Cheers,
Chris

If that's the right wrench paint it red so next time you'll remember it.

The 3/16" Allen wrench is correct, and it looks great in red.

Glad to be of service. I put mine in its own vinyl pouch, clearly marked "K-BAR". Color memory is not my forte.
