Default Epiphone PR-150 truss rod adjusting point?

A cheap guitar but this one plays nice. I need some adjustment to the truss rod, which I've never done on an Epiphone, It has a nut inside the body...fine, BUT it also has a rod cover on the head stock!! So on which end is the adjustment point?? Thanks for any response.

Nope. Took to rod cover off the headstock this morning and there was NOTHING under it! It's fake. Had to adjust the rod from the body end.

So, why would they put a fake cover on the headstock? I left it off.

Is this a secondhand guitar? Possible it's gone for a truss rod replacement - or do you mean there's absolutely nothing under the truss rod cover?

If so, must have been for cosmetic reason - someone got a cool truss rod cover and wanted it on the guitar, regardless of whether or not it was useful.

Like many modern guitars, it imitates vintage models. Older Epiphones had a Gibson style truss rod.

Yep, absolutely nothing under it but the wood of the headstock. It was bought by me new. The little cover did have the DR on it, so I'm assuming that's why it was included.
