Hi

I'm 95% sure its M3

My advice would be to do what I did. Go to a place that specializes in screws nut bolts etc. Take your guitar with you and try an M3 or maybe a 2.5.

Buy a few and keep them as spares.

Having said that, I super glued one into the slot, got exactly the right tension on the trem and then left it to dry. Never had a problem with it since. The trem goes in firmly with no excess play.

I hope that's helpful

Hi

I had the same problem with my electric 700

It turned out to be the jack plate assembly (the whole thing just unplugs)

I bought a new one (that wasn't as easy as it sounds)

Problem solved !

Cheers, Mark

Hi Everyone

My Variax 700 from 2004 has been the best guitar I have ever used - Love it.

Over the years I have battled with myself over whether to update from the original firmware (1.21) to the latest

A couple of weeks ago I did it but now regret it because of a couple of reasons

1/ I don't really like the newer sounds as much as the old, especially the acoustics and the Reso sounds

2/ The whole guitar now sounds as though it has lost its attack and sustain

Does anyone else feel the same? More importantly does anyone have a solution ether by tweeking in Workbench or having gone back to 1.21

What I really want is get the 'old' Acoustic and Reso sounds back

I hope someone can help

Thanks

Mark
