Allen key sizes?

[Basscabman]

2008 Fender MIM 70's re issue Jazz with the bullet type truss rod, anyone know the allen key size for the rod and the control knobs ? Not 3\16
I've tried every key I have no luck!
Cheers

Imperial sizes maybe. i recently had to buy a set of imperial size keys for the saddle screws on an American string-through bridge. The key for the saddle screws also fits the control knob retaining screws. Couldnt say about the truss rod key but there is a good chance it is the same problem.

I don't have one myself to check but this link suggests a standard bullet trussrod nut needs a 1/8" hex wrench:

I'm pretty sure its a 4mm I had one in a few months back now a 74 avri if I remember right. First I thought it was something wrong like they used a weird nut size. But turned out after much trying an Allen key did fit. I'm sure it was a 4mm. As I was surprised!

Thanks chaps. Got onto fender and It is Indeed a 1/8" hex.

Silly me. Indeed I do actually have a 1/8 fender hex. I don't know why I thought it was a 4mm.

A worn 4mm will probably fit.
