Atom CT question...

[mike_TA81]

A bit of a dumb question but I'm relatively new to this style bridge...

Noticed this screw popping out from one of the ends today, any ideas how to get it back in place?

[Reddy Kilowatt]

Hammer.




















Just kidding. Do you have Allen wrenches (hex keys)?

[mike_TA81]

I will this weekend (away from home) -- I'm assuming I tighten it into place with a allen wrench?

Oh and hammer was my first guess...

;p

[bud]

Hammer.

At least he didn't say chisel :eek:

We are a helpful bunch, no?

[dannopelli]

UGH. That screw should never come loose. Is your Reostat Frangelator skipping?

(Really we are helpful, yes?)

[tom]

that's the locking screw for the tailpiece. it just needs to be snug. it's a 1.5mm allen.

The only real solution is a new guitar.

[Reddy Kilowatt]

The only real solution is a new guitar.

Why would he buy a new guitar when, with a little hammering, this one can be as good as new?

[Pietro]

True...

But any excuse to get a new guitar should be carefully considered.

;)

[dannopelli]

Plus then he would have multiple guitars to do hammer-ons!

[marzzz]

You guys are starting to scare me.....!

[mike_TA81]

Thank you *TOM*!

BAH to the rest of you!...

...great thread! hah.

[mdrs]

Yes, definately use a hammer.

Then you'll need another Anderson.

Now, if you had a plasma cutter........................:eek:

I have been in several guitar stores here in South Africa in search of a "Reostat Frangelator" and there seems to be distinct lack of them this side of the water.
I also looked on e-bay without any success.
I am considering importing one directly from the US but I am not sure if there will be problems due to the components being on the endangered species list like Brazillian Rosewood.
Also I am not too sure if the fragile and sensitive parts would be able to handle the trip.

So currently I am sitting here with an unFrangelated Reostat:o :o :o

Make sure you have your safety glasses on, just it case it decides to spontaneously frangelate. :cool:

[GaryMac]

Hi Don,

Sitting here with my safety galsses, hard hat and safety shoes on. I am also wearing safety gloves but finding that the tone definately suffers when leather gloves are worn on the fretting hand. The tone did improve when I took the fret protecter out but not to the extent I would have liked.

I also have a hammer and chisel close at hand just in case.

Is there a warning before the spontaneous frangelation takes place or is it one of those, situation normal and the next second whoosh instantaneous frangelation, type of reactions?

Should I consider buying safety/protective underwear as I normally play sitting down with the guitar in my lap??????
There is frangelation and then there is FRANGELATION if you get my drift!!!!!!!!
:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

[dannopelli]

I think I should consider decaf...
