That multi tool that comes with new Gibsons...?

[pondcaster]

Quick question for the knowledgeable:

I love that multi tool that comes in the case candy when you get a new Gibson, I mean most of the guitars I've bought over the years were lucky to have an Allen wrench to adjust saddles?

I've used a few of the tools but what is this one below used for? No big deal, just curious.

Thanks in advance, much appreciated!

I think thats for the action:

- Side A:
- 5/16" Truss Rod Socket
- 4mm Slotted Screwdriver
- 1/8" Hex Key
- 1/16" Hex Key
- 0.05" Hex Key
- Lever with laser engraved reference marks (3/64" and 5/64") for adjusting action at the 12th fret

- Side B:
- 1.5mm Hex Key
- 2mm Hex Key
- 2.5mm Hex Key
- 3mm Hex Key
- #1 Phillips Screwdriver
- #2 Phillips Screwdriver

Yet these dont come with historics. So weird.

They didn't originally come with one...they're just giving you that true historic ownership experience. Lol

They didn’t make them back then.

I got a multi tool with my SG Special. For all my other Gibsons, I'm the multi tool

I want one... just to have... put on a shelf, keep it nice.

My Historics came with the truss rod wrench with the handle being a small phillip screwdriver.... that's a multi-tool. Though the pickups need a flat blade screwdriver to adjust height and pole pieces.

I got two of those fancy multi-tools with my later Gibsons.... both were Juniors.

99% sure the 3 historics I have didn't come with the truss rod wrench. The used '96 standard did though lol.

(also I am 100% here for the jokes that were made after my post)

My 2004 R7,....2012 R9,.... and my 2014 R8 all had the TR wrench..... My CC#28 did not. My Custom Shop 2011 Les Paul Custom did not either.

Though i have so many it doesn't really matter anymore..... and you will never get a screwdriver big enough for the stop bar screws.

Someone asked me for a cordless drill,.... so i hand him one of those.... what a look i got.

At least you got one. I was told by Sweetwater when I got my '17 that Gibson doesn't include them. Found out SW did me dirty and Gibson did include them.
