setting the truss rod on an Ibanez

I have an older model of an Ibanez guitar I got back in the late 80’s. I have been trying to find the right tool to adjust the truss rod. Its very particular. I have tried different measurements of allen wrenches and other tools but nothing fits perfectly to adjust it. If you know where I can get one please let me know. Thanx. Rockon! InHim tony

Interesting & challenging question. I tried searching, couldn’t find anything unfortunately. Their official website is here: http://ibanez.com/guitars/default.asp?s=e

Which lists their types of guitars, etc - however, their parts only goes back to 2000 on the site. Given that they don’t seem to sell anything from the 1980’s on their site, I’d recommend checking eBay.com or a similar auction site to see if they have the adjustment tool you’d need.

Alternatively, a friend of mine who plays guitar said take it to a small, local repair shop to get it adjusted & it might only cost $10-20 to get the adjustment done. If you’re lucky, he said you might be able to get a guy at a small local shop to do it for free.

He just added - if you get a 5/32 ball-end allen wrench from Home Depot, that might work as well.

Good luck, and sorry I couldn’t be more help.
