S2 CU24 Bridge Issue

[DirectorDisch]

Hi Everyone,

Day 3 with my new S2 Custom 24 and I've run into an issue. Tonight when I grabbed the guitar to practice, I noticed the High E and B strings were buzzing a bit. Upon further inspection, I noticed the High E was essentially sitting on the bridge pickup screw, and the B was very close, and hitting it when I played it. I then noticed that this was being caused by the bridge "shifting." When I applied pressure to the tremolo bar, the bridge would shift down, bringing the strings down onto the bridge pickup. I was able to pull it back up, but would experience the same issue any time I applied mild to moderate pressure to the tremolo bar. I'm not exactly doing dive bombs here, so it would seem to me that something is loose that needs to be tightened. Any idea what could be causing it? Thanks.

Sounds like the bridge plate is not riding in the grooves of the screws. Watch John Mann's setup video to see how to adjust it. OR take it to a good luthier for a setup.

Thank you so much. Watched the video, actually took the bridge off as if I was replacing it, like in the video, and now it's perfect.

Glad to hear you got it sorted out.
