Strap button allen wrench size

[gabegabegabe]

Anyone know what the allen wrench size is for the strap button?  I tried the search feature.. but it didn't bring the exact results.

Mine is a 2005, so will it have the pre-drilled 1/2" hole?

Thanks,
Gabe

Hi, Gabe

Mine is a 2005, also. It has the large hole/strap button, but it doesn't tighten with a regular Allen wrench. It tightened right up with a T-30 TORX bit which fit perfectly. Just happened to have a set of 7 in a Swiss Army knife type arrangement. It's made bey Ekland Tools and has proven quite handy over the years!

So, is the end-pin hole pre-drilled to 1/2"? I haven't seen that mentioned anywhere before.

Mine's an '05 model, a 12-string. It's ready for a string change so now I can try to install my strap jack, too. Thanks for the info.
