Anyone know who invented this? or did it just kind of come into being. I saw it on Music Man's with the EVH and then on the Peavey's, now on Charvels etc. What's weird is I found an old Squier neck with a bullet truss rod that I drilled holes into to turn it as it had a Kahler string lock and I know I wasn't smart enough to think of this and copied it. So did it come out of holes in a Fender bullet truss rod?

I don’t know the answer, but I like it on my Charvel.

Hmm, was probably a Kahler idea Kahler Link to fix the bullet truss rod and manufacturers put it on the other end of the neck |

Peavey was doing this in the 1980s; that's the first guitar brand I saw with it. I like the idea, and I used it on this custom build:  |

I do believe that Teisco of Japan were doing the spoke wheel adjuster in the 60's. Mostly as a heel adjuster, but possibly at the headstock on some models.

It dates to a least the early sixties, Teisco are the brand that comes to mind for me too but I can't say they were the first. Ernie Ball Music Man had it on their first guitars in 1985 and added it to their basses in mid-1990.
