Howdy, Boys and Girls,
Say, I bought a really cool '07 D55 Sunburst (DTAR model) from Scratch.
It's the first Tacoma Guild that I've played and I like it very much. The workmanship is great, the guitar sounds wonderful and I have every hope that I can keep it in the stable for a long, long time, once I figure out how to properly amplify it in a band situation (see, I even put it in my signature line!).
Only one small issue. The bridge pins and the saddle are loose, as in, 'turn the guitar upside down without strings and they'll fall out loose'!
It really gave me pause. It makes me wonder, did the ebony bridge shrink a bit once the guitar was out in the world or are the specs on the saddle and pins a bit off?
Anybody have any ideas? I'd like to get some opinions before I buy some new custom pins!
Also, maybe the saddle is supposed to be loose with the DTAR undersaddle pickup?
If not, what kind of material do I use to replace it with? Believe me, an enquiring mind wants to know!!
