Taylor Universal Truss Rod Wrench Black

Bought a Taylor T5z (which I love) that needed a tweaking of the truss rod after changing of the season. Was met with the rude awakening that none of the wrenches/sockets I had used on my other guitars would not fit, so went looking and found this one on Amazon. Some complained in reviews that is was too pricey, but $10 for a must have tool isn't too bad as far as I'm concerned. Within minutes after opening the package I had adjusted the truss rod and all is well. Makes the job a breeze, is of high quality and is a good value. A+++

This fits as expected and does the job. Other more "generic" 1/4 inch wrenches I had did not.

perfect tool at an excellent price

Works as intended on my mini GS

Fits just like it should for Taylor truss rod adjustments.

The title says it all. Works as it should.

I stopped playing an old favorite guitar due to the fact it hurt my fingers. Finally decided to address, and noticed a pronounced bow. Obtained this tool, and about two 1/4 turns later I have my old favorite back. BTW - this is not for a Taylor guitar - it is a Guild. Guess I might have rated 5 star, but because I kind of had to gamble on the fit, I subtracted 1 star

Disclaimer: I am an amateur guitar repair technician. I've done dozens of complete setups over the years. If you're not comfortable doing this yourself, just watch a couple of YouTube videos first, and don't twist too hard. It really only takes a tiny amount of adjustment most of the time. Mine was an extreme case, and I still took it a small amount at a time to get to where it needed to be. Anyone can learn to do this, and it really is easy, just as long as you don't go ham like it's a socket wrench because it isn't! I have an old (2010s) Taylor Baby BT2 travel guitar that's never had a proper setup, partly because it's my travel guitar, so I just never worried about it. Lately the intonation has gotten completely horrible though, where I can tune it up, and every single chord plays horribly out of tune. Unfortunately, being that I only own the one Taylor guitar, none of my truss rod wrenches would work on it so I had to order one. But, after what amounted to about a quarter turn to loosen the truss rod, it's back to playing like brand new again (Better, if you count that I swapped out the plastic saddle for bone years ago!)
