Fix or scrap?

[Khaerruhl]

My guitar (Ibanez RGA72TQMz) isn't working because of the threads in one of the intonation holes on the trem are stripped. What am I supposed to do? Im pretty sure I can't order an Edge Zero 2 baseplate just like that. Should I strip the guitar of anything useful and sell off? Or try to fix it? If the latter, How?

Get some steel epoxy, mix well fill the hole, drill accordingly and rethread.

Why would you scrap a guitar you like for such little work?

^ this for sure. But first check with Rich over at IBANEZ RULES!! - PARTS FOR SALE to see if he has, or can get, the baseplate. If you don't see it on the parts page send him an e-mail.

Good luck!

You could also try cutting a new, bigger thread and then using a larger screw.
