Just got a 2007 HW1 tele with no tools! It needs a good setup and I'd hate to wreck that truss rod. If anyone knows the size for the truss rod I would be forever in your debt

Its 1/8"

I have a 2008, they are great teles

brilliant, thanks Matt. I love everything about that guitar, I've got 3 other US fenders and this HW1 is the nicest to play, it looks great and sounds great too, despite the need for a set up.

I can't believe they don't cost more, I prefer it to guitars costing twice as much! Peter

Hey Peter,

Mine has become my favorite. I like it so much I am looking to pick up another even with the price increase. The one I have now is the sunburst with maple neck. If I find a Honey Blonde that floats my boat I am buying it.

I set mine up as follows:

Low E = 5/64" @ 12th fret
High e = 4/64" @ 12th fret

Relief = .010 @ 8th fret on the low E pressed down at the 1st and 17th fret

I set the saddle radius to match the fretboard radius @ 9.5"

I use Ernie Ball Power Slinkys 11-48

Enjoy your new Tele

Thanks Matt, your a star.

This is just the sort of info thats helpful, I will use it all.

Mine is a sunburst too, I like the way they did that finish, but your right about that blonde
