I can't remember the exact size you need for saddles, but MIA Fenders use standard imperial hex keys (.050" perhaps). MIJ and it seems MIM use metric (1.5mm says Google). For the cheap price you can pick bunches of hex keys up, it's worth investing in a set of both. You never know when you need one. And it's never the one you can find :D

(EDIT - a bit more research looking up MIM Strat keys indicates they use metric saddle screws. My MIM 70s Jazz Bass uses imperial keys for the truss rod and saddles. Odd...)

(EDIT AGAIN - Just found out my JB in fact has US hardware. Hurrah! :D )
