Screwing the lipstick tube down a bit more would have also probably worked.

Update:  For anyone also experiencing this issue, it turned out that there was not enough string tension pushing down on the bridge to hold it in place.  There are two springs under the bridge attached to notched posts.  I set the springs into the last notch at the end of the post for maxim...

Replacement tuners for Fender CP Jaguar HH

I would like to replace the stock "Vintage Style" tuners on my Classic Player Jaguar HH with a set of high-quality direct replacement locking tuners. The stock tuners look identical to the vintage Kluson style tuners found on the American Original series, but I believe the gears are made o...

Would wrapping the posts with electrical or plumber's tape dampen vibration/effect sound or should I try to use this strips of aluminun?

So I took my KC Mustang in to have the wiring mod done.  The tech installed a mini-toggle in between the volume/tone pots to select pups.  Middle position is both pups on.  The front slider toggles between neck SC pup off and in/out of phase when both pups are on together.  The back slid...

And, just to be clear, I am not describing a vintage style rocking Mustang or Jaguar bridge.  I used to have a Jag-Stang, so I am familiar with that type of bridge.  I locked down the tailpiece on that guitar and used surgical tubing on the bridge posts underneath the bridge plate.  The ...

Mustang bridge posts too small for adjustomatic bridge

I bought a used MIJ Fender Kurt Cobain Mustang with adjustomatic bridge. The diameter of the holes in the bridge that accept the bridge posts is too large. The bridge easily wiggles forward and back on the posts when I use the vibrato bar, sending the guitar out of tune and messing with the intonati...

I have a Japanese made Kurt Cobain Mustang that came stock with the Fender TOM clone. Would they have cut the neck pocket at the proper angle at the factory or would this guitar also benefit from a shim?

Help with wiring mod for Mustang?

I have a MIJ Cobain Mustang with Duncan JB Bridge and MIJ Mustang neck pup. I would like dual concentric pots so each pup will have independent volume and tone controls. Additionally, would like to be able to split to either coil of the JB, while retaining the out of phase pup option. I was thinking...

Will full size pots fit in MIJ Mustang?

I have an MIJ Cobain Mustang with a Duncan JB bridge and stock MIJ pup in neck position. I would like to swap stock volume and tone pots with dual concentric pots so I can have individual volume and tone controls for each pickup. The JB tends to break up much earlier than the neck pup, which has ton...

Thanks! Do you know if the MIJ Mustangs use Switchcraft or equivalent parts? If not, I will order two and replace both. If so, I will just replace the bad one.

Do you also know the part# for Jaguar switches?
