Hey,
I have a Jackson COW7 which has JT390-7 bridge in it (you adjust intonation on the side that faces pickups with a Philips screwdriver, and on the other side of intonation screws facing away from the pickups are hex nuts), so it's a Tune-O-Matic type of bridge.
I tried to do a guitar setup a couple of days ago and noticed that screw head on the low B string saddle has been stripped, so I am unable to adjust it.
How can I remove it as safe as possible in order to replace it?
Oh, and if someone by any chance would know the saddle length screw size on this type of bridge (JT390, lot of Jacksons have it)? Can I use Fender Vintage Strat 4-40 X 5/8
screws ('cause that's all I could find in local guitar shops)?
This guitar is made in Japan, so I recon they used metric screws, that's why I ask. Maybe I should try M3 x 15 mm screws if 4-40 won't fit. And where can I find hex adjusters (nuts that face away from the pickups)?
Regards
