Side screw cut view

Remember the Cut can't be deep, You have to just get access to the screw !
Did it on my friends Jackson and it works fine
and by the way, it was a "lo-pro" or how do you call it ...Jackson Trem..
The whole thing is really simple... really..
If I could do it so can You![]()
Why would you do this???!!!!!!! This is hack work!
Sorry, but I have about 3 years of aerospace machining experience and this is a VERY common problem. Don't mutilate your guitar's bridge over this.
Here is the correct fix:
Take the saddle off the guitar place in a padded vice. Center punch the broken screw. Drill a small hole on the punch mark and use a screw extractor to pull the broken stud out. That is it.I have done it a million times on much smaller screws and pieces than a bridge saddle.
Should take about 15 mins. and cost less than 5 bucks if you don't have one... and you will not fuck up the saddle by carving a giant gash in the back of it.
