Has anyone had problems with the string bridge detaching (ripping out) from the top of the guitar, as we have?

Classical guitars must retain moisture, otherwise the guitar's bridge will come unglued or the guitar may even explode.Buy a guitar humidifier or do what I do, and use a small damp (not soaked!) sponge placed inside sandwich baggie with a few slits cut into it. Place this homemade humidifier into the guitars case or where ever it is stored. Your guitars are drying out. This is mainly a problem during winter months when you heat your house, dropping the relative humidity. It is also a frequent occurrence in areas with a dry climate such as the southwestern United States.

Yes we had that within an hour of receiving the package. Was able to exchange it through Amazon and the new one has had no problems.

No we have not. But then again, my kid does not play with it that much. However, it has not been treated with kindness and it seems to be doing just fine.

No, guitar has worked ok, goes out of tune quickly, but hasn't had any issues with it breaking, still in good condition.

No we have not had that issue. Then again, we've only had it since Christmas, but my son plays with it a lot.

You could try adjusting the neck. That's certainly the easiest thing you can try to remedy the situation. If that particular fret sits high in just that spot in the neck you may have to have a guitar repair person adjust that or the nut may need to be shimmed. Try the neck adjustment first.

I got this guitar for my boyfriend and he told me he was having problems with a string not sounding right, which may be the same issue you're having. He took it to guitar center and they said the guitar was just cold and dehydrated. With this crazy winter, they said a lot of guitars were having this problem. We put it in a room with a humidifier for a few weeks and it's back to normal.

Well, this is hard to say. But here's my experience. About a year ago I was moving my amp with headphones plugged in. I stepped on the headphone cord and it pulled the jack loose. Neither 'phones nor the speaker worked. I took the amp apart: the jack had pulled off a printed circuit board but otherwise was not damaged. I eventually was able to solder it back on. It took a number of tries, for a while I was only getting the left channel through the 'phones and I had to keep taking things apart and redoing. Finally got everything soldered right. However, now something is a bit loose and the speaker isn't working. If I jiggle the jack I sometimes can get it back. Sometime I'll have to open it up again and resolder things, but right now I am just using it for practice with the 'phones. I suspose if I took it to a pro, maybe I could get it done up totally right. However, I am too cheap and sometimes I have found that sometimes pros refuse to work on a something because they either don't deal with the brand, or perhaps in this case, decide the way to go is replace the whole circuit board.

I pop'd the high e string a few weeks after getting mine, it broke as I was tuning up and I went a little too far. I haven't had any other strings break.

Check spring tension under back plate and check tremalo block for cracks also under back plate ps:never store guitar in case or gigbag with tremalo arm instaled

My experience was that the guitar is playable out of the box, but can be set-up even better.If yours arrives with rusty strings, when you replace them, take a very fine sandpaper and buff the frets and oil the fretboard with lemon oil. I hope this is helpful, good luck!

Sounds like you are stringing it the opposite way you should. As you tighten the string it should put tension on the whammy bar. Our guitar turned out great and plays good. Great guitar.

I have the same issue. I've given up on this. I'm looking to buy my son another guitar.

I haven't had that issue but it's mostly been used as a catch all for my baby's toys. I would contact the manufacturer to see if they would replace it.

Not sure about that... The sound hole on my nylon string guitar is a bit small for the pickup. I did try to see if would fit if I took the strings off and got at it that way, but that was all to no avail as the last time I used the pickup I stood on the cord when I stood up and it has broken the lead (the way the cord hangs from such pickups is a bit of a problem, I think) - so at the moment nothing works! However, the manual says: "We recommend you string your guitar with bronze or phosphor bronze strings to achieve the best response from the pickup."

Mine was pretty well set up. A week ago however, I noticed the High E, 3rd Fret was buzzing and not staying in tune. Took it to local guy and he adjusted the truss rod. All good now.

I haven't had that problem either. If the string frequently gets caught up in plants or rubs concrete it won't last long. But you probably already know that.

Not for me. The body developed a crack within a week of playing. I'm not using it anymore because the strings cannot be tuned with the fine tuners, they don't move, it's impossible.

Mine is exactly the same way. If you're concerned, I would contact schecter directly. Although I can vouch, this is an amazing guitar and schecter usually never messes up. If I understand correctly though, I believe its normal for this guitar.

So glad you wrote this. I've had the same situation with my Teton since replacing the original strings--nothing but frustration, no matter which brand I've tried. Now I know where to go to get my guitar sounding right again.

Not really. You just have to keep re-tuning. This is normal when you have new strings or in our case when you have a toddler fiddling with it constantly
