Re: Weber Bridge - nut spinning, unable to raise/lower
My first question is do you need to raise or lower the strings at this time? If the answer is no change your strings and make your appointment with your luthier for the future. If you need to raise or lower the strings you are going to have to remove all the strings to examine the bridge anyway. Do the following:
Use blue painters tape to mark out where each end of the current bridge sits. Use pieces of tape on the ends and front and back of those points. Then after you remove the strings use a pencil to mark the bass side of the upper part of the bridge (the saddle) and the lower part of the bridge. I generally put a B in pencil underneath each part of the bass side of the instrument. This way you know where the bridge was and you can put it back in oriented correctly after you are done. I am with Hank on this one.
