Hard to tell from those pics, but my guess is it came off the switch.
Try to pull the wires gently out of the way of the switch and pot and take some more pics so we can get a better look see.

it has the stock grovers on it.
is there a way to get grover locking tuners and replace the heads with keystone style ones instead of those odd oval ones?
Yeah, read my first post.

Well then I would say it is probably the way you string your guitar. I'm not trying to talk down to you and I have no idea how long you have been playing. The cold will effect the tuning of your strings. Anytime I take my guitar anywhere, especially in the cold, I have to tune up before I play.

I put new tuners on both of my G-400s. They both had 10mm holes. Not sure what you mean by "slippy." If the buttons feel loose, there are screws to tighten them up. If the only problem is that the buttons are loose, you can get a set of keystone buttons that fit Grovers from Allparts. I got 4 sets for some of my other guitars. They don't have them on their site, you have to call to order them. "Slippy" could possibly be in the way you are wrapping your stings. If they aren't wound and secured good they will slip.
I put Grover Vintage Green Keystones on mine. The original Grovers were fine, but I prefer the looks of the Green keys. I really don't like the looks of the Kidney shaped buttons.

Thanks, good info for all to have at their fingertips. Should make this a sticky.

Nice looking bridge. Glad it worked out for you.
i think the Grover Robomatics are the ones i'd go for...anyone know if they fit or does the peg hole need to be drilled out?The rotomatics should drop right in. You might want to consider the locking Grovers.

$120 seems a little steep for installing a bridge, unless that is covering a setup as well.
I would suggest having your tech file the saddles down. That's cheapst thing to try first, unless you are having problems with the saddles, like rattling.

that's what's not clear' date=' no way to really know without ordering...[/quote']
I'm not positive, but I would say it will not fit. There are some guys that are no longer here that have much more experience than me because they were banned. What ever happened to jerrymac? Some of these guys had first hand experience with older Sherrys. I think Twang has an older one too. The post spacing is different on them and the newer bridges don't fit.

Welcome, and nice Sherry. Some of the earlier Sheratons had a different spacing on the bridge and it is hard to find bridge that will fit. I have a Maestro on one of my G-400s with the original bridge. I took it to my tech and he filed the saddles. I have not problem keeping the guitar in tune and I use my Maestro all the time. He also touched up the nut.

I'd look for a Luthier in your area rather than GC.
