Height Adjustment Screws for USA Legacy... what size?

[bluesmandan]

I've just acquired a beautiful wineburst usa legacy. Serial # CLF23831... I haven't taken off the neck to figure out the year, btw.... I need to adjust the string height, but nothing fits those dang little screws. I called G&L and was told 1.5mm alan wrench should do it. But nope, that's too big, and the wrench will not fit. These things are tiny!!! What do I need to adjust them? Or what replaces them?

Thar would be a 3/64 (.0469) The new ones are 1.5 MM. The are still SAE. Staring in I believe 2006 they went to metric. Hope this helps. If they are a bit rusted, apply some thin lube to them before you turn them.-- Darwin

Yeah, I went by Harbor Freight and bought a pack of wrenches that had a .05 in it, and figured I'd take a gamble on it. It works! What a wanky size to use!
