Back in the day they were standard and now metric. Dunno off the top of my head the values.

Correction to this - I'd said 3/32". Please see my post below.

2mm is the correct size.

And in answer to the unasked question..... It wouldn't be the first time.

Ken...

On my L2K, it's metric. 2mm

I was incorrect in saying that it's 3/32", but let me 'splain....

I've used a 3/32" Xcelite ball end wrench for years. Turns out the ball end has worn down to about 5/64", which is close enough to 2mm that it works well.

So...

2mm it is. I got off my butt and actually tried a real, honest-to-God 2mm wrench and it fits; if a little loosely.

5/64" also fits.

But a real, non-ball end 3/32" wrench? Nope. Too big.

I think it's time for me to get a new blade for the handle. A 2mm blade.

Mea Culpa, y'all. I goofed.

I DON'T THINK IT'S 2 MM.
doesn't work and it's too big.

Well, you know best with your measuring device. I just went to my handy dandy allen wrench set (US & Metric) and found the one that fit my US L2K. It was #2 (which I assumed to be 2mm).

Obviously isn't the size for your bass.

G&L used SAE (inches) parts through 2005, then switched to metric.

Thanks, Ken.

I'd better look for thinner size wrench. like 1/32 ? 1/16 ? -.-;
