What size wrench for adjusting saddle height...

[Mondoslug]

on a Hollow T? Your standard bridge I guess. I'm thinking it's metric?

After seeing my neck come off to adjust the truss rod the other day(no big deal but) I decided I'll take on some of the easier tasks like string height and try to learn how to intonate this thing if it goes out. Ever since the truss rod got loosened the 9.5s are just a little too pingy...more so than I remember before the tweak so I'm gonna raise a few saddles here & there. 101 maintenance I know. thanks.

I don't know what you mean by "standard" bridge, but my guess is it's a Gotoh bridge or the current Fishman bridge... both cases it would be a 1.5mm allen wrench to adjust the saddle height.

something doesn't sound quite right. if the rod got loosened, the action should have come up, and now you want to raise it more? are you sure it's just not the sound of thinner strings?

Thanks for the reply.
Ooops sorry about that...after the rod got tightened I just felt the action was a little too low all around. That's what initiated me trying to loosen the rod by myself in another thread. It's probably the lighter strings also. I just remember it not being quite as banjoish before it was tweaked and I had the same gauge strings on as before although like I say it's pretty dialed in with 10s.

cool! i just was trying to save you from chasing your tail if you didn't need to. sometimes chasing my tail helps me learn things though.

Bought some metric hex wrenches today...1.5(thanks) and raised the E,B, & G a gnats hair & it all feels good....very. Also got the DT-7 tuner today. I'm good to go if I can find room on my pedalboard.


Later that day..as much as I like whipping around with 9.5s I stuck some 10s back on there again. This thing just rings with 10s on it. What can I say. Bravo!
