Hey all, its been a long time....
I have a problem with my X500 tailpiece where the High E ball end gets stuck in the slot.
It take a lot of tension with hemostats to pull it free. A few times I had to take all the strings off to access the underside to work it free.
It gets stuck/jammed in there...
Now this is a 63 (I believe) and wanted to keep original parts on it...if possible.
I've tried some lube to no avail...
Is there a fix? Has anybody had this happen to them?
Should I run a dremel buffing tool in the slot? Do I have to grind something (God forbid)
Or do I need to replace it and if so where would I find a new one.
Don't want vintage if replacing as if its an age issue???
I'd keep the original with the guitar (of course)...
Thanks in advanced for any guidance
