Certano palm bender problem

Post by Chris Harwood »

The screw holding the handle constantly loosens up, to the point they just flop around and become a nuisance.
We are talking 2-3 minor swings to move them slightly away, to screwed in fairly tight (actually too tight for preference). The screws just become totally loose.
Anybody else ...or do these go in the trash can?
Blue lock-tite? Lightly "scar" a thread?

Yes, David was very nice when I bought them. Bought a couple of bridges too. I put some blue Lock-tite on the threads and tightened them to where I need them to be and it seems to be working for now. I'm not gigging out with this guitar, so if I need to run to the shop and get another couple of drops in a week or so...or whenever, that's ok too. Supposedly there is an allen screw on the undersides, which I can't see now, but do see it with pictures that are online. Supposedly that is a tension screw...maybe. Any rate, I'll pull it apart and look for those screws if need to, in the future.
