re: Question for Taylor/Martin guitar guys

If you are going to attempt your own set-up for the first time (which I don't recommend with any guitar of reasonable monetary or sentimental/heirloom value), I strongly encourage you to watch a ton of videos on YouTube, practice on any beater guitars you may have or can put your hands on as learning tools (this is a GREAT time to buy an under-$100 pawn shop guinea pig) and no matter what, use the right tools for the task, especially for the truss rod - DO NOT IMPROVISE.
Taylor truss rods use a 1/4" bucket wrench. Post-2007 Martins use a 5mm Allen wrench with 4-5 inches of workable extension - the wrench's length has to penetrate a TR access hole in a top soundboard brace and extend to the body/neck block.
