95 Studio w/fixed bridge

[bobb]

I have a 95 Studio with a fixed bridge and one adjustable section with a hex screw.

It appears the hex head is stripped - anyone know what size the screw is or where I can get a replacement?

Thanks,

Bob

Replace the whole bridge with a good ol'fashioned, light weight aluminum tailpiece.

You're welcome.

Take that comment as he doesn't know. Sorry I cannot help you either.

No, more like I don't care.

What I DO know is that I've thrown at least 5 or 6 of those bridges in the trash.

For originality's sake, AllParts carries this bridge (now it's Wilkinson by Gotoh, as Wilkinson went bankrupt some years back), but they're expensive compared to the two adjustment section bridge that StewMac sells (same brand, $44.24 vs $80 for this version, or $50 for the original version at AllParts):

You could email StewMac to see if they can help with a hex screw replacement without buying a bridge. Or, you could look at all the other wraparound/bar bridges they offer too, they have quite a few.

I'm with Kiz, if yours is broke look at it as an opportunity to put something better on there. The standard lite-weight tailpiece he mentioned meets that criteria.

If intonation is your concern, Faber makes these, I think they're pretty expensive for what they are, but are much less than the Gibson Lightning Bar.
