Menaice - I saw the video that Phee303 did on YouTube for removing the
threads. I did that - perfect. Then I saw the video where he removed the threads and the bridge itself, WOW. That atty lasted a couple of months and tasted great. It did finally burn out (I miss it) and I've tried the same thing with a few but never with the same great results.
I still think removing the threads is a good thing.
