The neck on the 1655 has a significant bow in it. I see no truss rod, how do you correct this?

Thanks,
Joe

If it does not have a Truss Rod Cover on the headstock...
The Truss Rod is inside the bowl.

Be Careful.

If you do have to adjust make sure you have the right size 'Hex Key. usually 5/16"

Do not use the 'nearest size' metric key as this could damage the truss rod adjustment aperture.

and first loosen the strings and check out whether the neck bolts are tight. I got a 12-string as "unplayable" because the neck was loose and the truss rod was fastened to the end.....

Thanks guys, I think I'll leave this one to the pros. Don't want to mess it up.
