Comanche Truss rod wrench size??

Post by yz250f49 »

So, I tried a few wrenches that I own an none of them felt like the correct fit. Didn't want to booger it up so I didn't try to adjust it.

Does anyone know the proper size for my USA Comanche?

Thanks!

That appears to be an earlier Comanche (GOT Neck) and should be the same as an American Fender 1/8 in. The newer ones are 4 mm. Look at it closely with a mirror and light to make sure that the head hasn't been stripped out. Let us know what you find. -- Darwin

It's a 2005. Looked at it and it looks good. Found a 1/8 and it seems to fit perfectly, thanks!

Also noticed it took very little effort to tighten the truss rod. Way less than my typical Fender. I'm assuming it was backed out most of the way or are these some type of a bi-flex rod that doesn't require much effort?

It is not a bi flex and it sounds like you are in good shape. Easier adjustment is best. some are not easy. -- Darwin
