Yea, I'm not real particular really, I have a T5 and a P5 which are totally different beasts so I figure ill just see what's out there. I like passive, only vintage colors, and mike lulls name on it to be general-

Make sure you're VERY clear about what you need. Both the model type AND the scale length matter. I only mention this 'cause I've had a couple experiences now where they've sent a 35" scale pickguard to a guy that has a 34" scale 5-string... no workie. :)

Not a big deal, but it just makes UPS money...

Thanks, appreciate that. But there is already one ahead of you, and this one's a keeper. I swapped the rounds out for d'Addario regular light flats, but otherwise she's staying just the way Mr. Lull built her.

Hey fellas, I just got my first Lull about a week ago and have a question about the truss rod. On my M5V the adjustment is made by a large philips type screw, sort of like an old fender, but larger. My question is about the cut away on the body/pickguard. It would seem that the cutout is there so I can adjust the bass without taking the neck off, but with that screw, not an allen nut or wheel, it will be next to impossible without taking the neck off anyway.
My question is: is the philips screw nut the standard for Lulls and if so how do you guys adjust it with the neck on. Maybe I need a different tool? Angled screwdriver? Thanks.
