Chapstick trick works wonders!!


I remembered about this old trick that Rich Harris brought up a few years back about lubing the contact points between the bridge knife edges and the bridge height adjustment screws. I was restringing my JEMG7VW (EMG's) and thought I'll give it a try. Before I did this, my bridge would return sharp after a pull back, now it returns to almost perfect tuning! It works wonderful! I highly recommend this little tip to EVERYBODY that has a locking bridge! Thanks Rich you are the man!

Coolness glad to hear that it's working for you.

I've come across some pretty diverse solutions to guitar problems. Such as the filling of the strap holes with toothpicks to fit Dimarzio Strap lock screws. And 2B pencil lead on saddles!

Works like a charm though.

Christopher.
