Setting intonation on JTV-59

[drmathprog]

How do folks get access to the set screws on the JTV-59 to adjust the intonation?  Remove the bridge? Remove the bridge pickup?

The JTV guitars come with a set of hex wrenches in varying sizes. One of them fits the saddle adjustment set screws. Fit the short end of the wrench into the screw head and turn the wrench using the longer end - you shouldn’t have to remove anything.

Ah. I bought mine used and it didn't come with any hex wrenches. As far as I can tell standard hex wrenches have a small section of the "L" that is too long to fit between the guitar bridge pickup and the bridge. Are the Variax hex wrenches of a custom shaft size?

Check the Forum Knowledge Base, there is a list of hex sizes for each kit for each guitar.

Some are metric, as we sell product internationally.

I guess I wasn't clear. I know the hex size I need. A hex key has two shafts; a long shaft and a short shaft. My problem is the length of the short shaft of the standard key is too long to fit between the bridge pickup and the bridge. My question is are the dimensions of the Line 6 key shafts themselves non-standard?

"... are the dimensions of the Line 6 key shafts themselves non-standard? " --- Not that I'm aware of.

Pretty standard hardware, so I would think the same for the tools that adjust it.

Here is my situation:

There is the ball end hex which is useful for this, and one comes with the hex kit for the JTV-59.

I use that type for just this sort of thing when I intonate JTV-59's.
