Jazzmaster and Jaguar Bridges
I have a '66 JM and a late 90's MIJ Jaguar that have had bridge issues with both lowering all the way - but only on the treble side. Just curious if anyone has ever had s bridge lower by itself? Just curious what would cause it? HVAC vibration from attic unit, stripped screws (which appear to be fine), string tension, ghosts? Many thanks!

This is very very very common. Use a little blue loctite in the threads and you'll be good to go.

Yep, blue loctite, set to desired height and leave overnight. Job done
Silly Rabbit, don't you know scooped mids are for kids?

Thanks for the sanity check. May just put Mastery bridges on those.

Which may also require Loctite.
