Joined: September 2002 Posts: 4 | Does anybody know how to get a truss rod wrench for very old Adamas? I have purchased 1978 Adamas whose serial number is less than 100. It is pretty cool and quite beautiful. But neck condition is not perfect for me, so I want adjust it slightly. I found that the shape of truss rod is a little different with later Adamas's one. I also have 1981 Adamas. It seems that the wrench for 81 can not be used for 78. I will visit Boston and Washington, D.C. this weekend (10/26-10/31). I am very happy If I can get a wrench for 78 Adamas at any guitar shop in those cities. Do you think it is possible? I will contact with Ovation on this as well. | ||

Joined: September 2002 Posts: 4 | MusicMishka, It must be built in 1977, but there is a description "1978" on the label. I'm not sure what this means. Anyway I will send you a message from PM. Thank you. | ||
