Can anyone here recommend a screw driver that can be used to adjust the intonation on my 2010 4003? I don't mind loosening the string on each saddle( as the manual states ), to make the adjustments; I just want to be able to get to the screws, in a way that doesn't theaten to strip them everytime an adjustment might be needed. I greatly appreciate help in obtaining a functioning bridge tool. I've got a long handle nut driver for the TR, and having a bridge tool will complete the tool kit for the Ric. Thanks in advance.

I'd still lose the Phillips head screws and replace them with stainless Allen screws. The size is 4-40 threads. You won't have to raise your bridge up to access them since the Allen wrench is so narrow. The idea that it is tollerable to have to raise or even remove the bridge to adjust it is beyond me.

Thank you Dane.
Jonathan, I had actually forgotten that I had asked that question before; I guess reaching 60 tends to bring things like that on. Thanks for reposting the link.

Cool. I hope my response didn't come off wrong! I wasn't trying to be sarcastic or anything!

Not at all. I think it's important to learn as much as you can about whatever you're trying to do before you actually do it, and get other perspectives.
