First Build - PSH-1 Hollowbody

[Bakersdozen]

Hi Bakersdozen, I bought the Kaish locking studs that have the black allen key screws. Do you know what the thread size is? Will take your advice about replacing them.

Hi there! I can't remember the exact thread size, I have tipped them out into my nuts and bolts storage container without the box, sorry. I just took one down to the hardware shop and sized them up accordingly .

I ended up binning the locking studs. They didn’t fit the musiclily or kit bridge at all. Also the musiclily bridge vibrated way too much but it had good intonation adjustment range. I ended up with a gotoh bridge which has a locking post system built in. No rattles and much better sustain. How ever the intonation range adjust is very limited and I neatly had a dud guitar. Luckily reversing the saddles did the trick.

Thanks. I saw your previous post about the studs not fitting. Did you purchase the metric version?
My set are ok. I haven’t tried them with the kit bridge but they are fine with my Wilkinson replacement. You just need to line up the slot correctly otherwise they won’t close down properly when you tighten the screw.
