Hi thanks for the reply I did ,he was not 100% sure . Before i loosen the neck to investigate does anybody know the answer ,the tool pouch has the wing spanner ( the same as my Legend )

Thanks for your help

Check out the neck plate... if it's light plastic, chances are that the adjuster is Legend style accessed through a hole beneath. If it's metal with big screws then you should look elsewhere...

But does it need adjusting?

The Drifter's truss rod is adjusted by means of an Allen key (supplied with the guitar) through a hole in the neck plate just above the serial number. The key fits into a gearing mechanism which adjusts the rod by turning the key clockwise or anti-clockwise as necessary.

Thanks Terry and David thought that hole was for a micro tilt adjustment ( how wrong can you be )

Neck now adjusted and guitar playing like a "Dream" LOL
