I went to change my string height today because when I tuned to cgcfad i couldnt play the 6th string because it was hitting the fretboard too much and wasnt making any noise, I attempted to adjust the string height and ended up somehow lowering it and now the 6th and 5th strings wont work, and the ****ing allen key holes are worn out and now I cant adjust it at all... do I take a wrench and take out the screw and get it replaced or what? I cant believe how fast these allen key holes have worn it, I got the guitar a month ago and I've only changed the action like 2-3 times tops...

What kinda bridge you got?

You might need to bust out some needle noses and loosen 'em up that way. Go up to a high fret and hit the 6th string...if it makes a buzz noise then raise the action up a little more.


*also make sure that you're using the appropriate allen key (standard or metric makes a difference)

ive got a licensed floyd rose on an esp m-400, the problem isnt that im using the wrong allen key, the screwtop holes have worn out, its not even a hexagon or wutever the shape is, its now a big circle so it wont even fit in.

I just dont know how tocahnge the screw or what screw it needs, Id rather do this myself if possible cuz a guitar store wants to charge me 15-30$ just to replace a screw
