I need to adjust a saddle height on the low E a bit, (MIM Strat) and my two smallest Allen wrench's are 1/16", which is to big, and the other is .050, and it's to small. Does anyone know the size wrench I need for the tiny Allen screw? I looked over the setup manual here, and it doesn't specify the size wrench. Thanks, BF.

Take it to the music store, let the salesman find the correct size and they should be able to sell you the size you need.

Is it the MIM vintage trem with six screws? Its supposed to be .050 which is what I just used on my MIM.... I did find I had to wiggle it a bit before it seated in the screw.

yes, 6 screws, vintage trem. My .050 swims in the hex hole. Just tried it again.

If all fails, loosen the string, and use needle-nosed pliers to gently twist the saddle screws.
