I mean… You gotta, right?
Got myself a used MIM strat with a replacement Classic Series 70’s style neck, and was sure I wouldn’t need yet another set of allen keys. Turns out the bullet truss rod is the ONLY one in the Mexican line that needs the American-style wrench, so here we go again, huh?
The key fits, turns, is relatively well made (the price tag would suggest something better, but it’s serviceable). So in that sense it’s great. But it *is* still one of those tiny ones that lack any real grip when in use.
Would I have preferred the big T-shaped wrench that is so big it can even be used as a weapon? Sure, but this one already does the trick.
Would I see more sense if it costs a third of what it does, since it’s such a simple tool that seems to carry an insane markup? Well, yeah. Butmaybe Fender sent C&D letters to everyone else who made allen keys this specific sides so now they can charge whatever they want.
What can we do? Fender’s gonna… Fend…?
