Kahler Spyder Allen Wrench measure

[xion100]

Hi guys! I'm back!
As you all know I got my blackstone HM strat a while ago...took it to a luthier to have it setup and he changed the string. Now it's been sometime and string change is approaching but I don't have the exact allen wrench to open the string locks INSIDE the bridge...and because I live in Italy it's really hard to find allen wrenches measured in INCHES instead of CM. Anyway, could someone tell me the exact measure I'd need? eBay will do the rest

Does your Spyder have slots in the locking bolts, cut for a screwdriver?

I do not know the exact wrench size but other guys here might.


Kahler has an ebay shop, if you buy their wrench set, one will fit your flyer.

Yes, it does have the cuts for the screw driver but that just unlocks the saddle for octave tuning I think!

These unlock the strings:

Here's an example of the "slotted screwdriver" type.

Here's the "allen wrench" type:


The small ones at the front of the saddles are used for intonation.

When I get home, I'll post the exact size of the allen wrench you need to change your strings.

I have the slotted saddles! So you say i just need to unscrew those? And the strings come off?

That is correct.

Well, that's a good thing, because I forgot to bring my wrenches home to let you know the right size!

That is so much more comfortable than using an allen wrench!! I think I'll try it later
