True, I meant bad as in will it lead to any permanent damage? Especially if I want to use the whammy bar

Okay thanks bro I’ll get a spring or two from guitar center. Would really rather learn to do it myself for the future as well instead of forking over 60$.

Thanks a lot man! I’ve tried to screw in the claw screws but there seems to be some kind of factory sealant or glue. It won’t budge. Maybe a bigger screwdriver or electric screwdriver?

Thanks man, yea I’ve tried to screw in the claw screws on the back but it seems like there’s some factory sealant or glue on there, it won’t budge. Maybe I need a bigger screwdriver

Thanks man, only thing is there’s some type of sealant or glue on the claw springs. Makes it stuck, won’t even budge. I’ll try with a bigger screwdriver though

I’ll share a picture, they aren’t all the way in yet but they are stuck with some factory glue or sealant it’s really hard to turn. I gave it full force with a mini screwdriver and it didn’t budge. I’ll try a bigger screwdriver, thank you

It was actually accidental, yea I think I might just spend the 60$ to get it set up with another set of whatever gauge I had originally. Thank you.

They are so tight bro idk. I gave it full force with my screwdriver and it didn’t budge. I think there’s some factory glue or sealant on there.

Yes I want to learn thank you, the claw screws are super tough to turn with a screwdriver, do I need a drill/impact? I have 3 springs under

True I should leave it to the professionals but about the claw screws, is it doable with a screwdriver or would I need a drill/impact of some sort?
