Newbie here. Picked up a 1512 which is in great shape other than the truss rod nut (4 mm allen key) is stripped. The nut seems to be a long way back in the neck from the sound hole, well back of the cross brace. Certainly more than the Takamine 12 string this replaces where the nut was right in the cross brace. The first shot with my fat fingers only shows the hole in the neck block. The second shot just shows the head of the truss nut, about 2 1/2 inches from the edge of the soundhole.
Is this normal for Guild? If I can't get it out with normal tricks like a Torx or extractor, I may have to remove the neck. The mahogany plugs in the neck block seem to indicate this is a bolt on? Am I correct?
Appreciate any help. I have built a 6 string (pic) with a dovetail so have some skills but don't consider myself a luthier
