Zoner · **Guitar Question: Stripped Strap Buttons -** 04-10-2007, 01:58 PM

So, I've encountered my first problem with the Thunderbird.

The top strap button's screw is very loose. It's almost to the point where I can pull the screw totally out. The hole has gotten too large for me to even tighten the screw much at all. I have read about fixes using matchsticks and glue, but that seems like a really shoddy way of patching up a $700 guitar. Apparently it works, though.

Any thoughts?

I think I'm gonna bring it in to the store I bought it from and knock some fucking heads. mwah:
