Epi T-Bird IV bridge issues

[fms911]

My sunburst epiphone thunderbird IV has had its two rear screws pop out of their foundations . Any advice as to what do to will be appreciated for the repairs people near where I live (Townsville, Australia) seemingly cant wait to rip me off. I bought my t-bird while in NYC for US$300 from GC, over here its sticker price is AU$1000, awesome.

Btw I'm only 15 so if u think i shouldnt be gunnin for diy on this job do tell.

Bushings pulling out of Epi's is common. I do not think the factory glues them in. If the bushing is still in the body but pulled up you will need to pull it out. DO NOT TWIST IT!! Pull straight up. You can use the bridge adjusting screw and a pliers to pull straight up, don't rock it. Use some Titebond glue on a tooth pick to get it down in the hole, put some on the bushing and tap it straight in the hole. Use the bridge screw to eye ball the bushing to make sure it is straight in the hole, it may need some tapping to get it straight.
