Whatever you do, don't forget to unlock the studs...

...and hence, SNAP, there goes the top half of the locking stud. Bollocks. At least it's on the beat up old RG, so it's not an issue, but I so should have remembered it

Now it's probably go to a tech time to get a new one fitted

This is another reason I play a hardtail

That sucks.

Another tip: Screw the string holders in when you break a string. I took my UV all the way to Drew's, on his black living room carpet, and one of the little blocks fell out while he was ripping it apart. By sheer luck alone, we somehow managed to find it after a few beers.

You've done it again? Oh well, Jonathan fixed the last one for you so I'm sure he can do this one.

7 Dying Trees · 11-13-2006, 08:24 PM

Well, if i can get the post out, then i'll do it myself. Otherwise it's a repair job.

Still, it's not like it needed much tweaking, just a tiny tiny bit. And that tiny tiny bit killed it :/

I did the exact same thing on my RG570FM about a week ago, it sucks! Any one know of a good place to get the locking studs for cheap? They go for alot on Ebay

Ibanez Rules. Scroll down a bit to find them. $10 for the regular studs, $15 for the redesigned studs which are supposed to give better return to tune.

You can get drill bits that are designed for removing bolts and screws that are broken. They're generally at hardware stores.. we sell them at the K-mart i stock overnights at.. its basically a bit that bores into the screw a bit, and you just drill back out and the screw comes with.

Damn!

I'm so glad I have a hardtail 7 now.
