robocap Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Recently I've bought an used JTV-59, which arrived without any allen wrench. Needing to make the usual guitar setup, when I tried with my normal (here in EU) metric allen wrenches I found none fitted in. So I have bought on Amazon an inch size allen set and found that the correct wrench size to adjust the action is 7/64" and the one to adjust the strings intonation is 3/32". I hope this can be useful to other Europeans with the same problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psarkissian Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 If it is a second hand used guitar, it is possible the hex wrench kit might not be in it. And 4mm is for the truss rod adjust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robocap Posted October 23, 2019 Author Share Posted October 23, 2019 I did not mentioned the truss rod (4mm) and the horizontal bridge position adjust (1,5mm) wrenches because they are metric and very common in Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psarkissian Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Very good. I use a mix of linear and metric tools here myself when work on Variaxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
