Finally got my first Jackson, but I need some help!

Those sets, one is standard and one is metric. If none of those wrenches fit you need to go to a luthier/guitar doctor.

Silly Americans! When will you learn, Metric IS standard! :P

Well, like I said.. I have one of those sets :P

I'm going to take it to Sam Ash tomorrow, if they own an L key that fits.. I'm gonna try and coerce them into giving it to me for free

Alright, so I took it to Sam Ash today, and the tech there tried every Allen key he had.. none of them fit

So he made a phone call to Jackson guitars (I think) and gave 'em the serial number of my guitar. Apparently, the guitar came with a specific L key for that specific guitar (apparently it was a 4mm key). And since I got this guitar second hand, it didn't come with the original keys. So the tech told me to go grab a 4mm L key.

I just came back from Home Depot, spending around 15 dollars on a monster set of Allen keys, and strangely enough - the 3/16" fit! The 4mm key didn't fit.. This was so bizarre, because I have 3 different sets of the same sized key, but the one I just purchased from Home Depot is the only one that fits :think:

But regardless, the guitar is completely set up now, and I'm VERY impressed. I feel as if I could never buy another import guitar because the two USA made guitars I own just blow away every import guitar I've owned.

Thanks for all the help guys
