Re: Jazzmaster Bridge moving: the plot thickens

rio452001 - 28 Oct 2004 19:07:30

The plot does thicken.
I checked the allen screw, and they're still locked, so they haven't
turned. But somehow, it seems the bridge has moved (or the neck has
moved?)
I'm going to let it sit for a few days, and see if it changes more
or stays the same. And maybe I can clue into whatever it is that's
affecting it. But I suspect it'll be going back to the shop for a
closer inspection.
Anyway, there's no huge rush to get the JM's figured out, I've got a
decent Jag that's a fine alternative.
