Saddles keep slipping?

[allhallows337]

I have to adjust the saddles on my Ibanez SR300M every few days because they somehow loosen up randomly... I played a show the other night after adjusting them the day before and to my 'surprise' they were clacking and buzzing against the frets.

Go down to the nearest hardware store and get some blue Loctite.

Sorry to be illiterate but I have no idea what that is or what to do with it. haha.

Loosen a string, remove the offending screw, paint a small amount of the blue stuff onto said screw. Allow it to dry, then reinstall & tune the string back up. Repeat for all bad screws. Once again, use the BLUE stuff- it's removeable. The red is not.

I'm sure Loctite will work best but a dab of clear nail polish sometimes will do the quick and easy trick... has for me.

I will try the nail polish trick first, im completely broke and will look into that if the polish doesnt work. luckily i wear nail polish often and dont have to steal any from a friend.

Loctite is made to hold screws in place. Nail polish is made for ..........

zing.

okay, i tried the nail polish, and it seems to have worked just fine.
I went back and did routine setup on the neck and then the saddles, and everything seems to be fine.

thanks very much guys!
