SE Paul’s Guitar Loose Bridge

[Filztoyz]

I recently changed strings on my SE Paul’s Guitar and noticed the bridge nuts in the body are loose anyone have a fix?

John Mann metric brass adjustment screws?

Or is it the bushings in the body coming loose?

Those can be upgraded too I believe.

I was surprised how easily they pulled out of my Bernie Marsden.

If the ht. adjustment screw is too long, it'll start pushing them right up and out.

I had to grind 1/8" off of the length of mine.

Thanks it’s the Bushings in the body are loose I don’t want to glue them in case I need to remove

Maybe pull them out and use a little thin set super glue on the inner walls of the holes in the wood but not so much that it pools in the bottem?

Maybe use a Q-Tip if it does and also to spread it around on the wood walls of the holes?

Don't overdo it. You just want to harden the wood and maybe make it swell a little so it can grip the bushing tightly again.

Let it dry 100%. Overnight would be best. Then press them back in?

I'd put some 2" wide blue painters tape with a 1/2" hole cut in it over the hole you're working on when using the super glue...just in case..

I never use superglue right out of the tube. I always apply with a toothpick a drop at a time.

It'll make a mess quick if you squeeze it right out of the tube.

another option would be pulling the posts out, wrap the ends that goes in the guitar with a little plumbers tape until get a tight enough fit…
