High fret

I have been tweaking my guitar action for the last week or so. Last night, I set the relief to be quite flat (less than .006 at 12th with 1st and 24th fretted). Was very surprised that there is little to no buzz anywhere, save for a sitar (basically dead) at the 3rd fret on the high E. I took a cred...

Re: Saddle threading stripped

Was going to suggest helicoil- exactly what these are meant for. Just watch that the coil isn’t too tall.

Trem question

The Fly manual is kind of confusion (yes, I read the https://flyclone.com/_files/Guides/Fly_Vibrato_Guide.pdf too) in regards to fixed/bend down mode and I have a clarifying question. The manual states that the bridge needs to be in fixed mode when one sets up action — does this mean that the step d...

Saddle threading stripped

Hey all, this is my first post here, but have been lurking for some time. I have a 2011 Mojo (trans red) that I recently setup. While setting the intonation, I found that the threading for the low E saddle was completely stripped - screw just sitting in there. Would you recommend that I pick up a ne...
