fenderbender82 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Does anyone know the size of the truss rod wrench for an Ibanez Musician? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icastle Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 IME it's usually far easier, and often cheaper in the long run, to buy a generic set than trying to source a single one in the hope that a manufacturer didn't change sizes part way through the lifetime of a model.

PlungerModerno Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 +1 to icastle's response. Unless it's an acoustic that needs a special length hex key - a generic key set is probably best. I did OK with just a cheap metric hex set (1 - 10mm, with the common sizes in between (like 1.5 mm)) - untill I got a Mexican made jazz. Got a multi-tool for guitars with imperial & metric hexe keys, as well as the gibson size hex socket. It's probably 4 mm truss rod nut, The Ibanez Musician basses were made in Japan - it figures it's metric. Could be 5 mm. You'll know immediately which when you try one or the other. Careful with imperial hexes - a 3/16" hex key will go into a 5 mm hex nut - but it can easily ring it as it's about 0.3 mm too small. Proceed with caution. Tip: examine the socket with a bright light - if it's already very worn it can be difficult to get the key to grip. I recommend replacing worn nuts before they get stuck.
