Does anyone have any tips for finding a tool or socket to remove the 1/8 square head bolts from the rim of a Gretsch Broadkaster? I can use a little 1/8 wrench to remove most of them (assuming I have 10 hours to waste) but it doesn’t help with the ones set in the guard. Any ideas or help are appreciated. Thanks!

As beegee mentioned clock key. Go to eBay, type in "clock key", and for $12 you can get 2 that will have all the different sizes.

They look like drum tension rods. Would a drum key fit?

If so, you can get "speed winding" type cranks, to reduce your 10 hours...

Be careful. Those threads can strip out
