Hey, I bought a Fender Jaguar about a year ago and had no problems with it
until a few months ago. Basically what happens is the part that you screw
the tremolo arm into keeps coming loose and falling down inside of the
guitar leaving the tremolo arm and system absolutely useless. I’ve put it
back into place many times but it slowly works its way loose again. Maybe
somebody could help me out here? I really have no idea what to do now,
thanks.
Great picture, missed it earlier, I just got a new Squier 2012 Jag, needs
some work but is still great, it would seem that there are many variables
in setting up a Jag properly, another stroke of “Leo Genius”. Thanks heaps
again, on with an early Beach Boys record and out with the tools. !!
mustang bridge or ptfe tape on the pins
Thank you for this, I never new what caused the buzz, out with the allen
key tonight. Awesome. !!
your bridge is set up wrong side
Maybe your’s is… Funny.. all the guitars i’ve worked on for over 30 years
have them this way. Gibson TOMs have the screws towards the tailpiece too.
Happy to help. Surf’s up!
Thanks so much for this vid- I was having bad rattle on the top three
strings of my VMJM, and tried what you suggest here. The rattle was still
present after adjusting the saddle screws of the E and G strings, but with
one turn of the B string saddle, ALL of the rattle went away. I was
considering some other methods to fix the problem, but now I don’t need to-
thanks again!
i have a Squier Jazzmaster, when i try to full-bend the b string the note
just stops, what can i do to make it possible?
Did you see the picture link in the description? Take your time… maybe
fresh strings? Set overall height, then intonation. Do one string at a
time, getting them in the radius, height you want. Once you are in the
ballpark, check for that buzzing. Remove one saddle set screw at a time
adding the drop white glue to the threads (see vid description). funny how
just a little gap makes all the buzz…or not. I’ve noticed older bridges
had less play and slop in the screws and saddles.
Should the bridge be positioned in the middle or pushed forward towards the
neck or back towards the butt? Thanks for the vid!
you’re welcome. It does take a little extra than other bridges at times,
but they still work great.
