I just received shipment of my brand new y2d. Could someone please tell me which tool and size tool I need to adjust the intonation? Thank you.

Oh, sorry, it's a stoptail. It is very well setup, but the intonation is just slightly off on two of the strings, and for future reference I will need to know which tool to use. I'm guessing it's just an alan wrench, though I don't know what size.

I can't help but think that an Allen wrench would make it tough to intonate a Tune-o-matic! Usually these are intonated with a phillips screwdriver, although of course it will depend on the model and what EBMM uses on theirs.

I'm not sure I understand the question though; if you have the guitar, you can see which tool to use right? Or are you not sure where to adjust it on the TOM?

Yep, little screwdriver for the intonation screw on the TOM bridge.

OK, so I need a tiny phillips? Do you know which size? I'm going to look to see if they make angled ones. The reason I couldn't tell is the head of the screw in the bridge is so tiny. Forgive me, I'm old, my eyes are going. ;-)

I use the largest one in a small jeweler's screwdriver set - think it's a #1 Phillips. They are hard to see!
