Location: ohio | thanks paul.. im only about 1/2 turn on the screws for the claw and they will be bottomed out..is it possible the 3 springs in the guitar are shot?should i change screws and use a couple of shorter ones?
i can get new springs..should i just go ahead and put 5 new ones in it? thanks again. i know its a lot of questions,i appreciate everyones help.

Location: Phoenix AZ | I WOULD NOT BE PUT OFF BY THE FACT THAT IT SAYS "SQUIRE" ON IT - I THINK THE HELLO KITTY GUITARS ARE REALLY COOL. GREAT MARKETING IDEA BY FENDER. PERSONALLY I'D BUY THE BLACK ONE AND THEN PAINT SOME BLOODSHOT INTO KITTY'S EYES JUST TO FREAK OUT THE OTHER 4TH GRADERS AT "SHOW AND TELL". DAVE |
