                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Well, the wood between the post and the back pickup rout actually fell out, so I ended up getting some loctite epoxy, and glueing that piece back in. I also filled the space around the post in with the epoxy. At first, when I strung up the guitar, the post pulled forward a little bit, as the wood behind the post compressed(this body is made of soft wood!), but it seems to have stabilized now, and hasn't given me any problems for a few days.<br>Stupid squier! argh-they're suposed to be great deals. Oh well, I only payed $50...<br><br>If this fails, i'll be very interested in installing a hard-tail bridge.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Posting a pic would help, but I'm 99.99% sure wood putty will not do the job. For this situation, the repair is likely to involve removing the post assembly, drilling out a hole slightly larger than the damaged wood, then filling the drilled-out volume with a plug of suitable wood. This would be glued in with Titebond glue or similar. After it dries, level the surface, drill a fresh post hole, refinish the area if necessary and finally re-insert the post assembly. A woodworking pro or guitar tech could do all this pretty easily.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[My strat(squier standard, refinished in tongue oil) has a 2-point trem, and has recently developed a problem. One of the posts(the lower one) has been pulled forward, and the wood which secures it is cracked in the direction of the grain. (i'll try to get a picture up) I'm afraid to put the strings back on, for fear that it'll rip out all of the way.  Also, because one of the posts was crooked, the bridge was sitting crooked. Any suggestions? Wood putty? Is there any way to get rid of the stupid trem once and for all and install a hard-tail bridge?]]></content:encoded>
