Hey guys, I have been having some serious troubles with the trem system in my Custom 22, so I decided to just block the thing off. I blocked with a little piece of wood sanded down to fit in the cavity (as seen in the photo below).
Now that I have the block in though, there is an angle to the bridge -- is this at all damaging to the knife edges on the screws?
I have tried messing with the bridge fulcrum screws to lower the bridge, but that caused the action to be too low and would require another full set up to get working properly, so I raised it up a bit again.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks.
