Does this look right? SE 277 Truss Rod Nut

[wwit]

Hi All,

I just bought an SE 277 Baritone from Sweetwater @ a week ago. I wanted it to acclimate before making any adjustments. Needs a bit of relief. So removed TRC and see the TR nut at @ 1/8" gap between it and the neck.

I have adjusted a ton of different necks in my 35 years of playing, but am unfamiliar with the PRS. Does this tell me that the TR is backed out and allowing the neck relief to be at the total mercy of the string tension?

Thanks for looking and any advice is appreciated.

Hey wwit...nope, that's how they all are...they are permanently attached so the entire rod turns for adjustments...just do a little at a time...but you probably knew that...and Congrats on the axe!!!

What size is the truss rod nut on a 277 SE?

Looks like it should be 7mm.

Hello guys, I have a Tremonti SE here, was wondering what size the truss rod nut wrench has to be, and if there is a problem with going on size up (from 7 mm to 8 mm for example). Thanks a lot.

Thanks! Wasn't sure if the baritone might have a bigger truss rod due to the increased length and string tension... but I ordered a 7mm last night, will report back if it's the wrong size!
