"All WL-S models feature a vintage correct “Soft-V” neck profile with an adjustable truss rod, slotted headstock, and a pyramid bridge with a cutthrough saddle."

After reading this on their web page I assumed that was as far as I needed to go. At this point I'm pretty sure I don't have an adjustable truss rod.

It's a bit confusing because they don't make mention of the previous T-Bar versions on the model pages. If your label says "WL-S Dlx" then you have a T-Bar neck. I only briefly looked inside my T-Bar WL-S, but as I recall there is a channel there that looks similar to an opening for a truss rod.
