Calling all guitarists...

[Wookie]

Has anybody got: an electric guitar with a Floyd Rose locking tremolo system?

My beloved Beast (pictures on photobucket, see .sig for link: it's the big red one) needs her strings changing. Unfortunately, to do this requires unlocking the nut. Which requires an allen key. Which has been lost somewhere between Stafford and the rehearsal room in Stoke

So: if anyone has a suitable allen key (AFAIK, they're standard between Floyd Rose locking bridges), 1) Please may I borrow it for a weekend? or b) What size is it, so I can look for one?

If you don't know what I'm on about, this page can explain everything...

I've got a Floyd Rose locking bridge on my Washburn. I'm pretty sure that the allen key is still attached to the rear of the neck (I haven't played it for a while... cos it's a bugger to change the strings! ).

Dear fwump,
a) May I borrow the key for a weekend, or b) Do you know how big it is?
The Beast's been sitting there for ages, saying "Change Me..."

 

[fwump]

a) Certainly.
b) I'll double-check that it's survived my housemove intact (and that it's not run off to join yours!), and measure it, when I get home from work this afternoon.

Okay - I've got two allen keys bolted to the rear of my Washburn. One of them is about 4mm (but I think that's for adjusting the neck) the other is about 2.5mm (this is the one that fits my Floyd Rose bridge-doodah).
