Location: Sydney, Australia		I'm wanting to give the truss rod on my 12 string a little tweak, but don't have an Allen key that fits. I presume the correct size is imperial not metric. What size Allen key do I need to buy? Neither of my guitars came with a truss rod wrench.

[But I sooo hate to be mistaken! so somebody else better verify...]

When I needed one, I got a seven-piece assortment for $3 or so at the hardware store.

Get the 'Long Arm' ones, they are handy for reaching way up inside the manhole cover.

Location: Brisbane Australia		I've got both metric and imperial.

Celebrity will most likely be metric I would have thought

Location: Sydney, Australia		I've got a metric set. 4mm is too small and 5mm is too big. Unless its 4.5mm, I'm suspecting OMA is on target.
