While I'm waiting on results for the switch I have another question, if you'll indulge me. It's about my Evertilt bridge.
That's about as good as I could get it. Is that what one would consider too tilted? It seems to me like the action is almost perfect, even with that amount of lean. I'm not opposed to installing a Hipshot, but I'd like to keep the original, if it's not going to cause any harm like that. The only trouble then is that two of the ends of the intonation screws are broken, so I'd have to replace those.
Again, any and all advice is appreciated.
Thanks.
I have had success with teflon tape that pipe fitters use. Wrap it around the studs To make them a tighter fit with the baseplate of the bridge.
NOTE: Before you take the baseplate off, make sure the hex screws are loosened. Otherwise you'll damage the insert studs.
About the intonation screws. You'll only need to intonate once.
If you loosen the strings (or take them off entirely) you should be able to give the screw a few turns with your fingers. Or take it out, then turn the saddle to the right position. Put it back and you're good (after a few times of trial and error)
By the way; I wonder if those are the original screws and saddles. Most two pointers have nylon saddles and non slotted screw heads (the slot is on the other side in the threaded part)
