A 1943 Martin 0-17 won't have an adjustable truss rod. As a guitar built in the middle of WWII, it might not even have an embedded steel truss rod at all, but an ebony substitute, which is what Martin used for a while during the war. Metal was scarce during the war, and they couldn't obtain any to put into guitar necks.
