bridge pickup screws keep loosening...

[Bearer]

Like the title, the screws on my bridge pickup keep loosening while I play. Is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening? Perhaps some Teflon tape on the bottom of the screw?

The rubber tubing underneath should stop the screws from turning... If they are old or too short (i.e. lost the "spring" in them) then try replacing them.

If you have some teflon tape handy in your toolbox (for plumbing work) then you can try that, don't have to wrap around the screw neatly, either. Just drop a slice into the hole with the screw to give it some extra friction.

A drop or two of Locktite 220 (medium strength) on the threads, available from any automotive store, works well.

Either your Tubing spacers or springs are too short or crushed...or the threads in the baseplate are worn, or the screw threads themselves....those (3) screws should be under constant tension and not work loose.
