Hello everyone
a stupid question, really: what size are the hex wrenches of a Wilkinson VS-100? I've lost all of mine while moving two times in only 10 months.
Thanks in advance

Floyd Rose is either 2.5mm or 3mm.
There appear to be three allen wrenches that go with yours. Which one are you missing?

All of them. And I had a Floyd Rose equipped guitar once, its wrenches wouldn't fit (probably because Wilkinson uses inch instead of metric).

Those damn inches guys will get you every time... I did find this: 1/16" for adjusting the saddle heights on Wilkinson. I don't know the availability of these things on your side of the world, but perhaps a set of wrenches may be your way out of this. Generally, in the non-metric sets, 1/16" is the smallest one in the set. Keep the ones that work and use the rest of the set to make wind chimes. Another thought is to contact one of the more reputable Wilkinson suppliers in your area and ask them what the set consists of. I went through a similar scenario with Schaller, and Allparts came through for me. Happy Trails Cynical One

A set of wrenches is exactly what I have in mind, but the problem is that I don't know how complete it is so I prefer to make sure the sizes I need are in it. Thanks a lot for the information, that really helps to nail the right set down.

Sheeeeeeeeeeeit. The set of wrenches I've ordered sucks donkey balls! The wrench iron is so soft that after applying it to just two rusted screws it is not a hex wrench anymore but a circle wrench.
