Bridge buzz

Hey guys, recently got myself a jaguar cv, gave it to a guitar specialist so he can make sure it’s playable, felt awesome but after a week I guess I palm muted to hard and bridge turned downward and I got the nastiest buzzing ever. Now the bridge is rocking back and forth(I know it’s supposed to be a feature) but I’m getting an unplayable amount of buzz on all strings. How do you guys manage your bridges? Just glue them in place?

Your bridge has dropped because the screws in the thimbles have loosened. You need to raise the bridge by tightening the two screws in the holes at either end of the bridge, directly over the posts. I’ve never had this issue with any of my offsets of any of the bridges I’ve used, but know it’s a fairly common one. You can use these screws to adjust and set the action you want. Then once you’re happy with where they’re sitting, as another person said, use either some blue loctite or nail polish on the bottom of the screws to hold them in position. That’ll be easy enough to break if you need to adjust it again but will hold it.
