So far it looks like I'm going to get it welded. The piece is only about 1/4 inch long. I don't know if my father-in-law can do work that small. Maybe I'll flood any gaps with epoxy too. This RG520 didn't have the block lock on. I went to unscrew the arm spring clip so I could put it into another guitar until I could stop at the local store and the whole unit and springs went flying out of the guitar. The base broke around the knife edge on the non arm side. It still works but I worry about stability and appearance. My wife bought this guitar and one of the EMG81's in it for me. I would buy a new unit or upgrade to a low pro/edge pro whichever one came next, but I just booked a mod appointment at Voodoo amps for my Laney AOR this afternoon.

Please keep the suggestions coming.
Adam
