I've got a Sawtooth Telecaster with a truss rod nut that has an internal hex. After trying all the common metric and SAE sizes that were too large or small, my assumptions are that it's metric and that it's a 3.5 MM hex.

Before I spend money on a single hex wrench of odd size, is there any Sawtooth owner who knows what size wrench is needed?

My Sawtooth Tele has nothing that identifies the model or year of manufacture, but I picked it up about 6-7 years ago and the truss rod nut takes a 4mm internal hex...

Thanks for responding. With mine, a 4 MM is too big and a 3 MM is too small.
