I like the hex key intonation screws, the seller promises "no need to remove the bridge to adjust intonation".

What do you think?

Highlander:
At that price could be worth a shot (if it would be of help) - they are a set of "fixings" and the seller makes it clear he's not in it for much of a profit...

SeanS:
''Incidentally, I deliberately used Pozi drive for the tailpiece, rather than Phillips, as the pozi heads have a much securer fitting, and therefore a much tighter fit without chewing the heads.'' Not sure about that, a Phillips screwdriver in a Phillips head screw is as secure as the next guy, he probably couldn't source Phillips screws. But then again, you only need the intonation screws anyway.

weekend warrior:
yeah.This idea came out a couple of years ago.Swapping the phillips head saddle adjustment screws for round hex.This works perfectly!Especially with a ball head hex wrench ;D
