Hello,
what’s truss rod size for ibanez jsm 100? Is it something about 8mm? I have ibanez jsm 100 from 2003. Thanks in advance!

Most Ibanezes, as far as I know, require a 5mm wrench. That's what likely came with the guitar, and I what I received with my '19 AS200.

Some, older Ibanez AS200 etc had a 7mm-8mm trussrod socket key

When you google 'truss rod wrench', 8mm seems to be the one that comes up not only 1st, but 1st through 10th. I don't know why people don't just leave the tools in the case! Every guitar I've ever sold went out the door with everything it came in with, it's just courtesy.

Anyway, 8mm is also 5/16th if that helps

My inexpensive 2004 Ibanez AG85 (Made in China) has a 5mm hex key for the trussrod.

But, 7mm and 8mm sockets were used on the older Ibanez AS200 (Made in Japan).
