Hey guys,

This is an embarassing one, I just got (as in with the last two hours) a 57 gld top, and i was in the process of trying to lower the pickup high and I lowered one of the side of the neck pickup a little too low... poping the spring. I sounds fine, and there is balance across all of the strings. I was wonder how I go about fixing it? can it be done with out removing the strings and removing the pick up from the body cavity?

Any help would be much apperciated!!

No, I think you will have to remove the strings and take out the pickup and re-screw it in.

Joe

Good luck!

And congrats bro,,, '57 reissues are freaking sweet!

As much as I'm loving my '03 Std., I've been cross eyed over this:

Figured as much! I guess it has to happen at least once, just didn't have to be so soon! This was my first real Les Paul, and I still can't belive how natural it feels playing it, more so than any of my other guitars. Sexy as hell to boot.

Shamus, that is one pretty guitar. I would love to see that in person!
