I just got a PR1660 without any tools and the toplock kinda makes it hard to get to the truss rod adjustment screw, so I am wondering what dimension it is. I prefer not to have to remove the top lock to measure this. So what dimension allen wrench do I need for this one? Anyone happen to have a picture of the wrench supplied with these guitars... I assume the PR1660 share this wrench with a number of models from around 1985.

I was thinking about sawing one off... but still preferably without having to remove the toplock to measure.   Gemberbier Username: Gemberbier Registered: 05-2006 Posted on Friday, October 27, 2006 - 8:46 pm:    These allen keys have a short end and a long end, so what's the problem? Is even the short end too long? Please, show us some pictures of what you mean.

It's a 5mm allen wrench but I don't remember where I got mine from. If you have to saw one off, the short end should be approx. 12mm long, measured from the inner side. Juergen
