A few days ago I was changing my strings and decided to take out the pickups and look at the wood, the bridge pickup screws came out easily, then I started unscrewing the neck pickup screws, and I realized one of them was stripped. So my question is, how do I get this stripped screw out??

You are going to have to carefully stick a knife tip under the screw head forcing it upwards as you turn it with a screwdriver.
You will then have to do a repair of the hole using a small section of a toothpick and some wood glue.

The strap pegs on my Gibson S1 are still held by that method. And the repair was made over 15 years ago. Did it myself and came up with the idea by myself. Later I found out that was a pretty damn common method of repair. ;D |

Wood glue, toothpicks and matches... in most cases the first and best aid when it comes to repair of holes for screws. Our bassplayer is still frightened his lovely 1800 Euro Warwick bass might fall down eventually, lol... this guy cannot be convinced about this common method, lol. Hehe, he thinks:"Oh good god, a broken match and some wood glue in my lovely, noble and expensive instrument has to carry the weight of the bass!  " Well, he asked a guitar tech to apply Schaller Security locks on this bass, and paid for it, hehe... LOL! I wonder what the guitar tech did use? I guess, a toothpick and wood glue... ;D   |
