y2kc Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Hey I can't see like I used to and I need to adjust the saddle on a schaller bridge. Will the saddle move along it's threaded post in order to line it up with the pickup poles? I have a string that is way off and it needs to move over. Do I need to turn it with a tool or should it move with the touch of my hand? You guy's have the answer and I will not go to work until this is fixed. Take your time. y2kc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DetroitBlues Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Should be movable with just your thumb.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bolero Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Yep that is the great feature of those IMO Lift the string and infinite spacing adjustment at your fingers Although its pretty easy to notch saddles too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you and your Dad use one of those at work ever? Thanks, y2kc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbonesullivan Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 they sometimes get stuck, but rarely. should just roll over. I've got one on my 535, and another on my Millie. Always have perfect string spacing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y2kc Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 what is a BFH? Brent, Big F%^*g Hammer. We use BFHs all the time in the wood floor business. I am sure you have one out in the truck as well. That and a 4 ft.pry and that schaller bridge will be just fine. y2kc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High Flying Bird Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 If it is locked up let me know I think I have a few extra rollers in my gig bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y2kc Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 If it is locked up let me know I think I have a few extra rollers in my gig bag. Thanks for the offer. They were all locked but now move freely after some spins. This bridge does not look like it has been touched since new. It is on a guitar that I picked up on saturday that does not exist because I don't have pictures. Oh well, I guess thats all I can tell you about it. I used the eraser at the end of a pencil to "free" the rollers. It worked and it was soft and safe. Thanks again, y2kc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Flying Bird Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Be careful or those rollers will fall off and they are hard to see on the floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
