I know this has been covered in the past, but I couldn't find it through a topic search.

I've just installed a Hipshot bridge on my '77 4001, & the D & G strings won't retract back far enough for proper intonation.
I recall that others had the same problem & had replacement screws sent to them that rectify this, but I don't want to wait, so I'll just cut down the screws myself.

Does anyone know how much shorter the screws need to be?

Kevin, the short screws are half an inch shorter..hipshot sent me a bunch.

Thanks, I went ahead & shortened mine by 1/4" & that seemed to work well.
