I received a W Telecaster Vintage Modern neck today. I'm having trouble adjusting the truss rod. I examined the hole near the nut, no help.

What hex/allen size is used?

i'm sure somebody on this board could tell you what you need, but if not warmoth has always been pretty quick about telling me what i need for truss rod adjusting when i've called.

Thanks.
I'll suggest to warmoth that they stock the  tools needed to adjust their necks.


 
A repeat post from Warmoth's TonyFlyingSquirrel has got the answer.  For some reason, the Warmoth Pro, I believe comes with the allen wrench.  The others don't.

Only the side adjust mechanism comes with a wrench.  A set of metric and US hex wrenches is a great addition to any workbench!  (Hey, Christmas is just around the corner and that would make for a perfect stocking stuffer.)
 
I called W.    A 4mm Allen wrench will do the trick. One was not included in the shipment so it's off to the hardware store.
