Hi there

Can anyone tell me where I can pick up the correct size wrench for the saddles on my Player Strat? Action is just a bit too low and can't find the right size anywhere

Thanks in advance folks

Most of the time wrong action need a truss rod adjustment.

Saddle height don't move by itself, neck bow yes. Or with a new strings gauge.

Check neck bow first before you do some mistake with saddles and make a mess with your guitar.
If neck bow is ok, then adjust saddle height.

Don't loose you time and money to buy allen wrench one by one. Go to Home Depot and buy a complete set metric and SAE. It is $19

With imperial sized saddle keys, it's almost always .050". With metrics, usually 1,5 mm.

Now, there are quite a few "Player" named Strats, so... Classic, Deluxe, Modern, Player's or just plain old Player? 8)

Many of the recent Fender service diagrams have information about wrenches, fret size etc.
The Current Mexican Player one is here

IMO don't loose your time to buy one Allen wrench each time you need one. Buy a complete set Metric and SAE $20 at Home Depot.

You'll save your time
You save gas.
You'll be able to fix your guitar right now
And only one Allen are not easy available.
