    Cool as. The switching is very reminiscent of Hagströms from the same era.

    It has a truss rod cover, which I believe makes it pre 1965, following which the adjustment moved to the opposite end of the neck. But how do you adjust it when the hole is round? I’m a little perplexed.

    The nightmarish thought is that it was a traditional style, where there is a shaped washer under a nut, that is supposed to engage on a thread extending out of that hole. The middle type in the below:

    If that is the case, there should be something sticking out of that hole, which there is not, and your friend may have some bigger guitar related issues.

    I seriously hope its not that scenario.
