bubinga5 Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Can anyone recommend a longer allen key?. The keys i have dont reach the truss rod without hitting the fretboard design on this GB. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twigman Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 (edited) Can you not turn the allen key around so that you're using the long end in the rod? Edit: Ah no you can't...I see the problem now..... Edit2: Although if you had a ball ended allen key (they allow approach from an angle) then that would fix it Edited December 16, 2019 by Twigman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Ask Bernie for one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twigman Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 How much clearance do you need? What is the overhang distance of the fretboard? What is the length of the access slot? What is the AF size of the allen key required? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingPrawn Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Looks like you may need a swivel head Allen key? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffbyrne Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 When I was getting my fretless tended at Overwater, Chris got a standard allen key and ground about half of the short end off as it would have been too long to fit into the slot. You might try that. G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave moffat Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Just go to any decent hardware store and get a ball ended allen key, may have to get a set but they always come in handy, Teng kit is good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
