DiMarzio Clip strap question

TheMissing · 11-30-2007, 04:28 PM

If the screws they give me are too small for my guitar (I haven't checked yet) I've heard about the woodstick matches, or toothpick trick, but how do I actually *do* that? I tried searching for topics on it, but I can't find anything. The only other things I know of are filling with epoxy and re drilling, or jamming a golf tee in it and re drilling, but I don't exactly have a drill. So the match/toothpick trick seems to be up my alley, any info?

Cut the toothpicks in half and snip off the little pointy tip. Put a dab of wood glue, I like Elmer's, on the toothpick, and place it in the hole left from the strap button screw. Use a pick to help you pack it in there a bit. Let it sit over night. Then Install your new screw.

i did this on my Dean Evo 7, but didn't let it dry over night before i put the screw in. i did, however, let it dry overnight before i strapped it on

The door swings both ways, we could reverse the particle flow through the gate. We'll cross the streams.
