Guitar tool.....HELP
I know I'm gonna get clowned for this but here it goes:
When I bought my WRXT about 3 months ago it came with an allen key for the trem (Liscensed Floyd Rose) and it also brought a little wrench looking thing. I tried to see what it was for, at first I thought it was for the tuning knobs on the bridge but it didn't fit. I tried every screw on the guitar but it didn't fit any where. WHAT THE HELL IS IT????

the trust rod is a huge rod that runs down your guitars neck, keeping the neck straight and playable. You can fuck with it usually at the heastock, right behind the nut, if its an ibanez (most) there is nothing covering the rod at the headstock, if its a jackson (most) it'll have a cover over it that you'll have to unscrew.
