Pedal travel stop screws.
Posted: Wed Aug 21, 2019 5:39 pmI saw JD's remark in the For Sale column relating to someone putting threadlock on the threads of these screws. With my Sho-Bud I put small coil springs on the bolt before inserting. Found them in certain makes of cloths pegs. The wife wondered where the cloths pegs were disappearing to. 
I can now reach under the guitar and adjust by hand.
Also when adjusting (and I am probably teaching people to suck eggs
} I adjust the thinnest string first as this has the greatest travel, and then the lower strings. Tune the G#, apply the pedal then tune to A with the pedal stop. Now tune the lower G# and tune to A at the changer. That then only leaves small adjustments at the changer.
OK - back to sleep now.
