Re: Home repair victory/question

I do some of my own repairs. Some pad work, tone hole cleaning, some pad work - easy stuff. Be warned that there are some very tricky things about the mechanism, even though it's basically simple to take apart and reassemble. The bridge business can be affected by details of the rod function lower down, i.e. screw tightness and post spacing etc. The interdependence of the lowest pads right and left can be susceptible to hard-to-spot little factors. In both those areas, I did try but was forced to turn to a real repair person. Oh, and needle springs are SHARP damn little things. But you are doing a noble and most recommendable thing.
