Problem: 

  • Guitar maintenance can be a pain, especially for guitarists who own a floyd rose style tremolo system. The allen wrench is vital when it comes to tuning, changing strings and adjusting a floyd rose style guitar. The Spanner wrench is necessary for hardtail guitars and even floyd rose guitars. You need a spanner wrench in order to tighten nuts and adjusting the height of the pickup rollers. These two items should be accessible together in one design so it's easier for a musician to performing these tasks. The design should still be ergonomical and still be a functional tool.

Others Approached it: 

  • No one has really combined both of these tools together but currently they have the Allen Hex wrench sets combined in a plastic compartment or they use it as a key set according to products found on Bass pro shop. Another way of keeping screw drivers together is through friction, Duracell uses interchangeable flat head and phillips head screw driver that fit in plastic. All products seem to use stainless steel for tools and to avoid scratching material.

  • The multi spanner wrench for guitarists for guitarists currently made by ESP has a slick surface that won't hurt the guitar. It also features curved edges to avoid poking anything. It is angled to where it can easily go under strings and other obstructions.
