Perfect for adjusting your bridge posts. And it's vintage!

I'll hold out until it drops down to $200.00....... :o

Is that a good screwdriver for playing heavy metal?

Or should I get this one instead?



And does it work on the two point Gibson bass bridges too? I've heard those are really, really difficult.

We should ask if it includes lube.

I'd buy it but I need the 101.6 mm version.  :mrgreen:

I'm looking for a Fender screwdriver to let my active pickup, actove eq neck through bass sounds like a Fender.

The issue is, Chris, we knew that already.  :-\

After the despair you have brought into our community with your Warwick defection, it was only a matter of when not if until that malign condition called Fenderitis would get you.

Alas!, when a child goes bad, it's no cause for celebration.

I think a visit from some Germans would put him right!   ;D

I need one like this but left-handed.

Only those will do with a left-hand threaded screw. (rhymes)

My WAL actually has left-hand threaded Allen screws. The only one in my collection. Oh, I forgot the truss rod screws of my two Status basses. Darn Brits. If you grew up with "Solang' das Deutsche Reich besteht, wer'n alle Schrauben rechts gedreht!" (rhymes too!), that is confusing.

Nope, for Heavy Metal I'd recommend this one:

You do find metric products in the US. For example 9x19mm Parabellum or 5.56x 45mm NATO. I don't suppose you can walk into a sporting goods store in Europe and find those on the shelf.

All of them Satan's instruments, Dave!

   Ha! Very optimistic pricing. Putting the screw in screwdriver.  ;D 8)

Maybe they have a Fender-cutaway-allowing-saw-for-TBirds to go with it, Scott?  8)
