Do NOT use a 3mm wrench for the truss rod or you will strip the nut.

thanks all,
I was clearly aware to not use a metric system wrench.
Got to fetch a 1/8" hex wrench now

But i think that the former owner have already done bad

It seems to me, neck setup somehow affect the sound of strings, not only to playbility?

It can, but in a subtle way. When the tension is changed on the neck from adjustment of the truss rod interacting with the string tension, it can slightly alter the resonant frequency. On a well made multi-piece neck, like Ken's, where the resonance or dead notes are not an issue, it won't be noticable, but on less expensive one piece necks that tend to have a dead note somewhere, like the 8th fret of the G string, juggling string tension and truss rod tension can sometimes bring a little life back to the dead note.
