The angle of the truss rod adj nut seems a bit of an odd angle. An allen key doesn't just slip in to the hex without feeling around a bit. I noticed the hole is not circular but elongated, nearly oval so there is quite a bit of clearance around the nut particularly above and below. So much clearance that a couple of times my allen key has gone in the space around the allen nut rather than in the screw itself. Is that normal? I cant even see where the Allen nut is biting onto anything or the internal surface of the cavity. It does seem to be doing its job though.
By the way are the Allen keys for the truss rod and bridge adj metric or Imperial?
The truss rod access hole is now cut using the HAAS CNC router; where in the past it was a secondary, manual operation using a drill and small barrel sander. The new method allows for a cleaner hole that will not end up “out-of-round” as some of the older ones could. The other improvement with this method is consistent location of the truss rod nut. The depth and side-to-side location of the truss rod nut could vary and this would make certain necks much more difficult to adjust.
