F-2512ce deluxe truss rod

[Idonothaveaname]

I recently purchased the f-2512ce. I went to adjust the truss rod and something seems wrong. Is it supposed to be this deep into the neck? It looks to me like either it's broke or something's missing.

Yikes! That’s deeper than I’ve ever seen.

Deep indeed - but still space left for turning the key . . .

Fantastic colour - that blue - btw . . .

Not that unusual. When you adjust it does it work? I guess that's the main thing. If it works, then it's not too deep! Love the blue!! Remember the truss rod goes from the headstock near the nut to the 12th fret. So sound hole adjusting truss rods have a longer access than the headstock ones.

Thanks for the reply, that blue is gorgeous. Actually, my allen wrench has the length to reach, just not the girth to fill the hole and turn it. I'll have to find a different allen wrench

Perhaps someone with knoledge of lengths of truss rods on various guitars can chime in and tell their well informed view of thi - but meanwhile I toss my two bits in:

It is known that some acoustic guitars have a fingerboard bump near the body joint. So maybe this is an attempt to have the truss rod end in better place to avoid that problem?

Just guessing.

I found a tool on stewmac that just might do the trick.

Hey No Name.... I was looking and checking and because we have one Chinese build Washburn and also one Martin and also a Martin kit guitar that we built.... we have a truss rod wrench that fits!! I'm surprised that if you bought it new they didn't include that in the "stuff" that goes in the case..... Anyway, when you adjust, let us know how it works okay? I was going out to look in the tools and .... yeah. Not sure where we got ours but....

There should be one included with new guitar - according to GUILD - or is the one in first post the one?

Yeah, I saw that too. Unfortunately, I bought this at Guitar Center and it came with nothing. They didn't even have all the original packaging for it either.
