Pathetic question this, but can anyone tell me what size of Allen key is used on the modern Burns for adjusting the string height? - they are small and easy to lose !

Thanks,

Nick

1.5mm I think

Thanks Rodger,

That's what I thought but was not sure - same as for the Fender Strat, I believe.

All the best,

Nick

Some Strats have 1.5mm hex screws (Japanese and Mex I think) but American Strats are (were?) imperial. The 1.5mm fits my Mex bridge and my Wilkinson bridge plus the Burns Marvin. I have a "screwdriver" shaped allen key ie it has a plastic handle like a miniature screwdriver - search Ebay for hex driver. Makes it harder to lose .... well in theory anyway ... now where did I put it

Thanks Rodger - excellent idea.

All the best,

When you get the right size Allen key, tape it to another larger tool which you can then keep in the guitar case- I have a small key for the bridge saddle Allen bolts together with a large one for the truss rod adjustment..
