What replacement bridge can I use for the Super Axe? The holes in my existing bridge have stripped threads and the bridge keeps slipping forward. Thanks Al

I would first try re-tapping the forward/backward adjustment screw holes to a slightly larger bolt size if there is enough metal surrounding the existing holes. I'm assuming those are the threads that are stripped.

I thought of that but then there would be a problem of finding the 2 chrome screws to fit wouldn't it? Thanks, Al

I don't own an Atkins Axe and have not found a good close-up picture of the bridge but before trying to find a replacement bridge, here is my last possibility. I assume the thread on the adjusting bolt is good but the thread in the tailpiece is stripped. Try placing a small nut which threads onto the adjusting bolt between the bridge and the mounting posts. By holding the nut with a small pliers or thin wrench while turning the adjustment screw it should allow you to move the bridge backward to the proper intonation point.

Thank you all for the ideas! Al
