Is there a list that tells us which allen wrench size to use for each model of Fender Guitar?
I'm about to buy a set of allen wrenches and want to make sure I cover the models.
thanks

1/8 ", 0,050 ", 1/16", 3/16 " for American made guitars

And most important buy a good quality set that fit tight. If you live in the North America , Home Depot sell good one, Husky brand

I have the metric set too . These set have more you need for all guitar and are helpfull for home too

20 years of racing RC cars taught me to use precision ground allen wrenches like these.

Nice tools but some screw on a guitar, like truss rod, micro tilt ( ? ) need a bigger handle. Truss rod access need more lengt too.

I like the t-handle set with the ball end. And before someone points out that the ball end strips the hex head, they aren't designed for torque, but speed. Flip it over before tightening.
