Post by beefandbones »

What size allen wrench do you need to adjust the string height on a 330? I seem to have lost mine.

Hmmm. maybe I'm asking the wrong question here...

I want to adjust the height of the bridge on my 330. What tool will I need?

You are asking the right question. I don't have an instrument with that style bridge to check for you. I would think you can buy a small fractional (inch) set for a few dollars.

It was the right question. Image I thought I'd answered it a couple of days ago. Sorry about that. You need a 3/32" allen wrench.
You want to put that where?

I think most Ace Hardware stores carry individual Allen wrenches, if you don't want to buy a full set.

I ended up getting a thingy, like a allen wrench swiss army knife.

Wow - what a difference a little adjustment makes! Ricks can get amazingly low action! And I raised the pickups as well. Thanks for the help, everyone!
