Truss rod head between sizes?
Guys, one of my guitars (Brondel) has a truss rod hex head that seems to be between sizes. I don't think it was ever rounded out, as it was only ever adjusted by Laurent or me.
9/64" is too small but it will (dangerously) get the job done. 5/32" is too big. 3.5 mm and 4 mm are also too small and too big, respectively.
Seems like either my hex wrench size isn't accurate, the truss rod head is rounded out, or I need a between size. Fortunately, I don't need to tighten it now. I just had to loosen it. But I wouldn't want to tighten that truss rod with a 9/64" for fear that I would round it out.
What would one do in this case? Buy a 5/32" and start sanding it down until it fits?
