Jaguar mute popping up during playing

Post by Rebel » Thu Aug 16, 2018 6:15 am

Howdy, got a jaguar with a stay trem and a mute... the problem is, whenever I play the mute pops up and mutes my strings. I'm not sure what's the problem so I figure I'd ask you guys.

I googled it and didnt find anyone else with this problem.

Is there enough room to raise the mute screws without interfering with the bridge? If you're not using you could just take it off or peel the foam off.
All pain and troubles melted away like lemon drops beyond the contrails across the sky.

My best guess is that the mute is screwed down too tight. Get the bridge off and back the screws out about 1/4 of a turn each. Of course, if you don't want to use it, but still like the looks of it, you could crank it down the whole way ;)
