Hi all,

Occasionally when I play really hard I notice that a few of the strings have 'jumped' out of their saddle 'slot'/'groove' by just a tiny amount.

They can be pushed straight back in and it does't seem to affect the tuning.

But, what is the cause of this? I have a Made in Japan '52 RI and I bought it second hand. It has brass saddles, 2 strings per saddle.

I am not at all familiar with setting up a tele so just want some info on this.

BTW the guitar sounds awesome and I have no issues with it at all...should I just ignore this and get on with the playing?
