Why don't I read things properly
I've been working on my current project for ages now,
http://www.musicradar.com/forum/show...=107038&page=1
it's been hard to find the time last few months. I'm nearing the end though all the refinishing is done, new tuners and electrics installed only 2 jobs left, make a new control cavity cover and enjoy the setup then play the shit out of it.
The problem is I finished the electrics at stupid o'clock on Saturday night and suddenly realised that I'd forgotten to order a truss rod tool. The one I got with my us prs was too big. I had a quick look online and saw a few sites where people said their gibson tool worked fine on a se. I didn't bother checking properly logged onto wd music and my package was here when I got home today. Well it doesn't bloody fit does it? It was late, I was wrecked and completely forgot that the us prs tool and the gibson wrench are the same size. I suppose to look on the brightside at least I have a spare and the end of the new one is also a screwdriver
So does anyone know what size I have to get for an se? The guitar sounds awesome but the necks a fraction too straight and I've had to raise the action a little to compensate.
I promise full completed project thread soon with quality pics once I make the new cavity cover this weekend.Also an exclusive sneak preview photo sent to the first person that can help me out with the size.
Cheers
Can any SE owner tell me the right size to order please?
Afraid I don't know Adam, but is it a hex tool? If so, a set of hex tools (metric and imperial) aren't expensive from B&Q or similar. Bound to be one that fits. If it is a nut over a rod, I'm stumped. But hope you get sorted. Looking forward to the pics!
Afraid not dude it's a nut over the rod the same as a US prs or Gibson. I'm just not 100% sure what size I need. Prs themselves sell them from their site but won't ship internationally. I've seen a few on eBay but was hoping someone with an se could tell me which one I needed so I can get the right size. It's only slightly smaller than the US one which is rather irritating.
Oh and pics as soon as I make a new control cavity cover (hopefully tomorrow) it looks a bit untidy without it. Plus it was buzzing a little so the current one I made out of cardboard backed with copper tape to shield the pots until I make the permanent one :-)

Not sure if this link will work, but I'e found some on E bay UK. If not just search for PRS SE truss rod on th 'bay. Thinkit's about 7 mm by the way, Project looks very cool by the way.
