Hard tail bridge saddle screws

Posted by Walter Haapapuro on October 23, 2018 at 9:59pm

Anybody else have problems with the saddle elevation screws falling out when your CBG isn't at fully tuned tension? I like to reduce tension on my strings when I'm not practicing and I've had the screws fall out. I've been lucky and been able to find them so far but it's annoying. I think LocTite purple might work but I would like to figure out some DIY solution that would keep the screws from being too loose but allow them to still be adjusted.

    Nail polish works well, it's cheap and you can get it in lots of pretty colors.

    Teflon tape if you have it in your toolbox? Also a little dot of nail polish applied with a toothpick. I usually go the nail polish route since it doesn’t impede adjustment. Loctite is generally not used on things that need adjustment. Cheers

      Excellent, thank you! The purple LocTite isn't supposed to be permanent like the other colors, I think that it's pretty new. I do have teflon tape but I really like the nail polish idea.
