Humbucker trouble
My humbucker keeps falling out. Ok, so I've tightened the screws a million times. I've got new parts in, I've changed screws, I've done everything you can think of. I'll do all this and after a few weeks of playing (some wear and tear) the screws loosen and the thing starts to fall out again.
Anything you can suggest?
Thanks.

Are the screws going straight into the wood of the body, or are they in a plastic mount? If in the wood, and you don't plan on swappig them out any time soon - you could try a very tiny amount of white elmer's glue. The only other thing I can think of is trying a screw with a different threading - but the last thing you want to do is strip out more wood or plastic, so you'd have to be careful if you do that route - the glue is at least easy to reverse if it doesn't seem to be working. The glue might work on plastic, but metal on plastic won't hold as well as metal on wood.
