jlg Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 I have a Dot Studio, and I noticed that two of the saddle adjustment screws are loose and ratlle a bit when I'm playing -- any good ideas how to stop them from rattling?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muskank Sally Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Wow. I thought that only happened to Me! I would suggest you get a Gotoh replacement bridge from stewmac to resolve your issue. It will cost you around $25 but will be the best thing to replace the loose/rattling bridge saddle screws. These are tight and only turn if you take a screwdriver to them! Even though it comes with the studs it should drop right in. I'd call them if you require a certain color http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Bridges,_tailpieces/Electric_guitar,_Tune-o-matic_bridges/Gotoh_Tune-o-matic_Bridge_with_Studs_Bushings.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigneil Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 If you don't want to go out and buy a new bridge you could put threadlock glue on them. ~~~> LINK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSDx Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 If you don't want to go out and buy a new bridge you could put threadlock glue on them. ~~~> LINK Or clear nail polish, so I've read - don't have that problem.....yet8-[ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twangster007 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 The simple and cheap way to do it is, Get some clear nail polish, Put a light coat over the the skrews. I do it to all my guitars, it is a simple fix and when you need to adjust you can, You would just have to reaply the nail polish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlg Posted April 10, 2009 Author Share Posted April 10, 2009 Cool folks -- thanks -- I'll try the nail polish (I thought about locktite, but I don't want blue to show on the black bridge). If that fails, I'll look into the new bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 The other night I picked up my Epi LP Flametop and played it acoustically. BUZZ CITY! I couldn't believe how much buzz there was. I installed a new set of D'addario XL10's on it and all the buzz stopped.... Try a new set of strings first, unless you can put your finger on the offending part and stop the buzz. Then use the clear fingernail polish solution as someone said earlier. These were SIT strings (Stay In Tune) that I tried on the recommendation of someone at the music shop. Back to the D's again for me. The SIT''s sounded great for about 2 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
