Intonation Screws

Sign in to disble this ad
Hey guys, just picked up a Washburn XB125 for a steal, but the catch was it was in less than mint condition,. Anyways most of the problems were taken care of( new strings, polish, blah blah) when it got home but there's one thing that's still bothering me: during set-up I noticed that thethe intonation screw for the B string is coverd in rust. My question is: is this going to be a problem at some point in time, and if it is, is it possible for me to replace the screw myself or should I get it professionaly done?

Thanks in advance guys.

Easy to replace. Carefully remove it and go to the hardware store, match it up with a new one. Might have to apply WD40 or something to get the old one out, be careful not to jam it in the saddle.
