You need one of these:

Ask around on one of the Iby forums to see if someone can help you find the right size tool. They never fail! For example, I got the thing used and couldnt tune or change the strings for two weeks because the size of the allen key(whatever you call that) was so strange!

I've started to play my s540 again and the neck is completely bowed!!! :? The action is unbearably high. I've only ever dealt with strat and epiphone LP truss rods, that can be adjusted with an allen wrench. When I removed the cover on this one it's a bolt on a screw, and I'm not sure what to do.
Any help? Or should I just get it set up professionally so I dont screw anything up?]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance MikeCullen https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/ibanez-truss-rod-adjustment/#post-25120
