Members Haden Olmsted Posted February 7, 2011 Members Share Posted February 7, 2011 Hey everyone,So Iv come across a little issue with my bridge on my 6120. When I really start to get into it, my low E string likes to pop off the bridge, when then forces me to stop playing and fix the issue. This happened a few times at a show I played over the weekend. Any cures? Thanks,-HADEN- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fiveoclockhero Posted February 7, 2011 Members Share Posted February 7, 2011 I think you definitely should have mentioned this flaw when you were giving your 6120 a glowing review in THIS THREAD. I wouldn't recommend that someone buy the same car I'm driving if I'm having issues with fuel intake, you know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cephus Posted February 7, 2011 Members Share Posted February 7, 2011 I bought an Epi ES-295 that has a bigsby B7 instead of the B6 that would seem to be correct by the bigsby specs. I think your 6120 has a B6. I have come to find, though, that the torsion bar keeps the strings from popping off the bridge like you're saying. I playsome pretty heavy rhythm and had the same thing happen when I bypassed the torsion bar on my guitar. What gauge strings do you use? I would go one heavier and see if that increased the tension enough to prevent the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I thought about that, but since the issue is rather infrequent, and doesnt really affect in any other ways i didn't think it was that important. BTW Thanks so much for your reply about the question I was asking... really it helped me out so much, could you post another one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BlackCat Posted February 7, 2011 Members Share Posted February 7, 2011 I play bass in a band where the guitar player just got a 6120. He complains of the same issue. He uses 9s (which I don't think are ideal for that guitar.) It's never happened on my 5120 with 11s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Haden Olmsted Posted February 7, 2011 Author Members Share Posted February 7, 2011 yeah iv been using 11's on mine, and iv been thinking about going up to 12's. Probably try that soon. Thanks BlackCat and Cephus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members artiem Posted February 9, 2011 Members Share Posted February 9, 2011 Is it a stock bridge? Perhaps just cut the slot a little deeper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
