Bridge elements are loose?
While cleaning the hardware of my LP studio this weekend I noticed the bridge elements, i.e. saddles I think they're called, were loose.
I cleaned the bridge in water with a soft brush and I had to keep my finger on one side of the bridge to keep the saddles of jumping out of place. Is this normal or is there like a piece missing here that keeps everything in place? Also, when checking the intonation, the saddle moved out of the bridge and I had to push it back in.. Not sure if you get what I mean..? |

Re: Bridge elements are loose?
I am totally new to these forums and also to any Gibson style guitars.
Is THIS Like what you have? There should be a wire going above the saddle screws to hold them in when there is not string tension. Just from what I have read around here yesterday, the wire will sometimes buzz so you may have to crimp id down or bend it so it exerts more pressure on the center screws. |

Re: Bridge elements are loose?
Hello paragon;
yes, that's exactly what I needed. Seems there is no wire on my LP studio (anymore?). I'll try to order one from here in BE and fit it next time I string my guitar. Thanks for the link! cam |
