I recently bought a Warwick that didn't come with the User's Kit, nor a truss rod tool. Been looking around for one, and only found one on eBay, but I snoozed and didn't bid/win. Warwick has them through their Webshop, but they charge some ridiculous amount for shipping. I e-mailed Warwick's USA distributor and I'm still waiting for an answer.

Does anybody has one of these they can spare? I'd pay top dollar.

Thanks.

Hey 007 I got to look through my piles of Warwick stuff I bet I have one. There are different ones for different years. Some have a solid end and some have one that is rounded. Warwick changed truss rods a few times and they are designed to strip out the end of the tool before you snap the rod. The older chrome ones are more solid than the newer ones designed a little softer. Anyway they both will work fine I guess the new design is to keep a self proclaimed luthier from breaking their bass.

I will look around but If you wanted you can contact the Warwick custom shop in NYC and they will ship directly to you and you can avoid the huge shipping charge that is automatic direct from Warwick in Germany. I think is automatic $90 no matter what you order. The shop in NYC is an authorized Warwick repair shop and stocks tons of parts even lefty. I just ordered just-a-nut 5 string lefty graphite for $35 shipped. They have knobs electronics everything...The guys are super cool too.

1-(212)-777-6990 if new is what you want.

Thanks for that. I e-mailed the NY store and the US distributor. The US distributor e-mail came back as in invalid. The Warwick in question is a 2001. I'll call the NY shop to see if they can help.

Thanks.
