Seldom order necks with Gotoh side adjustment being a Vintage Modern preferential guy.

I tried to straightening the neck with the heel end adjustment first before mounting on to the body but fail to find a correct size wrench.

Can someone point me to the right direction ?

7/32" long arm hex wrench (Heel Adjust)
3mm long arm hex wrench (Side Adjust Mechanism)

The truss rod is probably a US item and the side adjust is Japanese Gotoh hence the mixed measuring system.

You're probably correct.

If in doubt, just use Star Key or Torx wrenchs to fit the hex nut since it is tapered and will grip the corners tightly.

Indeed. The side adjusts come from Gotoh, and the truss rods are made in Puyallup, WA, USA.
