  • Washburn WCG20-SCE-0 Trussrod nut

    Posted by Neil Miller on February 15, 2025 at 11:06 am

    I have a Washburn WCG20-SCE-0 for a setup and can’t figure out what trussrod wrench to use. The trussrod nut is buried DEEP in the neck block so I can’t see it and and none of my wrenches will reach or grab it.

    Anyone know??

    So, I have a set of hex wrenches that have the bend cut off. I then attach an appropriate length 1/4″ socket wrench extension with appropriate socket to match size of whatever hex size I’m using. If it’s a mystery, I just start trying different sizes until I find the right size. 1/4″ drive socket wrench allows for room to maneuver. Same use if it’s a standard nut. I then use thin wall, straight wall, 8 point sockets…Why they still put nuts in end blocks boggles the mind……..

    Hi Neil,

    It would be unusual for an acoustic with the truss rod adjusting nut access at the sound-hole in an import to use anything other than an Allen Key to adjust. There are of course exceptions. Do you have a full set of long L-shaped Allen Key (sometimes referred to Hex Key) wrenches, both metric and SAE?
