KingoftheHunted Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 Hi people i've got a 7-string guitar with a liscenced FR bridge on it - but it doesn't work after poking around it, it appears that a mounting post thingy (the bit you stick in the guitar before you put the bridge posts in...dunno what its called ) has....er....disappeared on one side!! and now the bridge is being pulled forward INTO the wood of the guitar....and the hole for this is now distorted. Bummer i've been looking at dereks site (the dreamland guitar one) and decided i'm gonna get the full-on original FR 7-string.....especially for that price BUT i need help on what to do with the hole when mounting it - how do i fill it in and redrill it etc? Will it affect it if i put the metal thingy in first and then fill around it, or should i just fill it totally and then redrill the hole?

Slaughthammer Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 i'd first fill it and then redrill. thats what i did, when i had to reposition the posts here is the thread, starts somwhere around page 2 i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarMaestro Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 I would first fill the hole with a wood dowel the diatemeter of the hole. Then you redrill it for the diameter of the new mounting studs. Anything else could result in a unstable mounting post....Another possibility would be to buy a trem with mounting studs that have a bigger diameter. Then you could redrill the existing whole for the new studs.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazyderek Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 get some hardwood (not walmart pine) dowels, use center punch to mark your holes if you're not going to use a spacing template.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
