Thanks John. Very kind. Someone has suggested 4mm ball end Allen key. I will be spoiled for choice tomorrow when the amazon man calls.

Well done John and thanks. It was indeed a 5mm ball end Allen key. Quarter turn was all I needed. Little off the saddle and the guitar is playing beautifully with new strings excellent intonation and sustain. Dont't you love it when a plan works out.
