I need to order a truss rod adjustment tool. Can anyone tell me what size this nut is on my Kawai guitar.

Hey Smitty.

I don't know the size of your truss rod nut but I'm pretty sure it's metric and you won't be able to buy an adjustment tool from STEW-MAC that will fit it. STEW-MAC caters to the Fender-Gibson market and they don't yet supply the vintage Japanese restorer with many tools.

You will probably need to rig your own adjustment tool using a thin wall metric socket and whatever else you need to get a ratchet on that nut.

Not much help for the vintage Japanese guitar guy out there.

Good Luck :wink:
