I'd check the measurements, string, box, website... Possible an over-long rogue set? Is there a difference in length to the old set, or just how they are (or not) tuning up? - Gauge Change? -

I'd go wood... softer than the body and neck... more of a compression deform 'Gasket' rather than a harder wood or plastic that would be more 'Spacer'... Also don't like or see the need for the plastic shield on a neck plate.

String vibration after fitting a set of flatwounds.
PaulThePlug replied to LaupMcr's topic in Repairs and Technical
Nut can usually accommodate a little change, as brands may also differ in thickness... So if you have gone from a std 45-65-85-105 Rounds to say a 45-65-80-100 Flats... Check for a twisted string, do you wind a wind round the peg by hand, this can introduce a twist... slacken off a string, pull down to the bridge and see if you can un-turn half a turn at the ball end... Witness points, tune- up and a light press - lighter with flats - at the bridge and nut contact points. Saddles, got any silk over the saddle? If the above don't fix it, trip back with a razor blade, although this may expose a rough join... -

I think the BBOT bridge on my Aria Jazz Modder is 20... certainly feels wider than the norm.. i'll check and get some dim's as dunno if the back 5 screws are F spaced, although it has 2 up front... Little grooves for the saddles... I can do a bridge swap or cheap £ to just replace... postage?

Inspired by the motivational comment by @Hellzero... and the contemplation of foresight offered by @tauzero Supported by my new sponsor, over the course of a couple of hours,I made a mess on the living room floor... half watching some Moto2 from Aus...
