| I adjusted one with a 5/32 Allen wrench, but the wrench had a little play. It was still tight enough to turn the rod, but the Pono probably takes a metric size. Not sure what metric size would be just larger than 5/32nds. By the way ... this was a surprise to me ... turning the truss rod counter-clockwise tightens it, and clockwise loosens it.

The metric hex wrench would probably be 4 mm.
If the truss rod tightens when turned counter-clockwise, then the threaded end of the trust rod has a left-handed thread. Not that it matters much to anyone other than an old machinist such as myself, but when I share minutia I like to be generous. Cheers.

| Thanks, guys. The 5/32 worked and I was also surprised when it got tighter as I turned counter-clockwise, but then it seemed to tighten as well when I turned it the other way . . . after a few 1/4 turns. Weird.
