Screw in the two flathead top screws so that the underside of the bridge is a minimum of 1/16 inch distance away from the body of the guitar. Bottom (roundhead) screw goes through bridge hole.
Installation tips: The two flathead screws go under the top of the bridge and NOT through the bridge holes. It also seems to help sustain and resonance if you screw the central fixing screw hard down so the back of the bridge sits on the top of the body. Each saddle has two screws, one for height adjustment and one which locks the saddle in place and allows the saddle to be positioned for correct intonation. This intonatable bridge has individual saddles. If the above repair does not produce satisfactory results you'll probably want to replace the tape.
You will never be able to remove dried super glue! Also, be careful not to allow any of the glue to leak out onto the body. With the glue spread evenly on the tape, press down on the tape while simutaneously rubbing making sure you don't super glue your fingers to the body! Keep up this pressing/rubbing moting until the glue has bonded. (Note: Do not use expandable type glues as this may cause bumps under the tape). Do not spread the super glue right to the edge of the tape as it will get on the guitar when you press the tape down to affix it. If the blow dryer procedure doesn't have a lasting effect, try lifting up the tape and applying a very thin layer of super glue to the back of the tape using a toothpick or glue syringe.
Tape usually starts popping up again especially if the guitar gets cold. If there was enough glue on the tape originally it may stay down, although this may only prove to be a temporary fix. Sometimes it helps to put a soft cloth between your fingers and the guitar while rubbing. Keep up this pressing/rubbing motion until the tape cools a bit. While the tape is warming, begin pressing it down while at the same time rubbing it with your fingers. Try taking a blow dryer and heating the tape, being careful not to overheat and melt it. Nevertheless it's annoying so you'll want to remedy the situation. This is of course strictly an aesthetic issue. On these newer Danos, inparticular the 59-DC first reissue, the problem with the side binding tape lifting or bubbling is usually caused by tape shrinkage due to changes in temperature and/or humidity. On the newer models it's strictly decorative and keeps that vintage vibe going. Is there anyway I can repair this without cutting the tape or replacing it?Ī: On the vintage Danos the side binding tape was necessary to hide a seam in the body. Q: I own a 59-DC and the side tape is lifting up especially around the cutaway areas.

Do you have any specs or measurements to assist in doing this?Īll measurements with guitar in playing position, no exceptions, guitar cannot be laid flat on a table or workbench to make measurements. Q: I want to properly set up my Danelectro Guitar, Bass, and Baritone.
