Thomann Gibson Truss Rod Key
I use this truss rod key mainly for adjusting truss rods. However, being a bit of a loose canon, I have also used it to adjust other things including various screws and two-force members. While the description says that this is a key please be warned that the implement is less effective in this role. For example, when I lost the keys to a hire car recently it was the first thing I reached for. However, I found I had to hit it with a hammer to get it to fit into the door lock and also use a large pair of pliers in order to apply sufficient rotational force to satisfactorily engage the lock. A hammer and pliers are not provided with this product - you will need to order these from somewhere else. Moreover I would also suggest that you take out the full damage waiver at the point of hiring the car. While I cannot fault the product under normal use, my enthusiasm has been somewhat dampened because I have had to sell my guitar to meet the costs of returning the hire car to its original condition.

Perfect Fit
I bought this to adjust the neck of my 2011 Gibson 60's Tribute SG. It works perfectly.
It is also really handy that the other end of the Key is a screwdriver so all you need to adjust the truss rod is this one tool.

Worthwhile Investment....
I've seen stripped Gibson truss rod nuts...particulary remember a '78 "The Paul" which had a neck like a Longbow...very lucky to get the nut off at all..you also risk damage to the wood around the nut etc..if you can afford a Gibson,you can surely afford this..otherwise bring it to a tech who will have one already...

Excellent Tool
Brilliant tool, does exactly what it ought without fuss. An all in one tool for adjusting a Gibson truss rod. Love the fact it has a philips driver attached for removing the cover and is angled to allow unhindered access to the truss rod.

Fits!
It fits the hex nuts on my Gibsons tightly, so it does what it's supposed to do.

Now I don't have to go looking for a wrench that fits.
This is a very handy device for Gibson owners. If you've ever had to run around looking for a wrench that fit you beloved Gibson, you know what I mean. The phillips head end is also a nice touch. It lets you adjust your neck with just one tool.

Is what it is!
Having had my original truss rod key stolen, I had to replace it, so I odered one from Thomann. Good quality and almost exactly the same as my original one. The only difference being the angle of the wrench, ony original it was 90°, on this one it is slightly more obtuse.
