Hi all,
Father in law dropped me off his Ovation which has high action. Just needs a simple truss rod adjust, but I can't see inside the little hole. Web tells me it's either a 3/16 inch or 5mm hex/allen key, but a normal allen key doesn't seem long enough to get to where it needs to go. Anyone have a truss rod adjustment tool that might fit this description?
It's an early 80's USA Ovation, it was very expensive new, and the old chap loves it. Would love to get it going for him as he suffered a nasty hand injury and mostly plays ukulele as he can only put up with a few minutes at a time on the Ovation at present.

Push the long end of the allen key in, then turn it with an adjustable spanner.
Put the spanner on the short leg of the allen key.
