Jasonbrianmerrill Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Hey everyone, bit of a problem with a Line 6 Variax JTV. The intonation never felt right. Ever. Took it to 3 different guitar people. One lowered the frets for me, helped because when I would press down on the strings it would nearly go out of tune the frets were so high. Anyway, the intonation needed work and I noticed I really had to adjust the high E string. Well, I did so much that I loosened it TOO much and the screw popped out while i was playing. Found the screw, lost the washer and the spring. Definitely need to replace those. Anyway, I only noticed this because my High E String stopped responding. Apparently the pickup wouldn't respond if the saddle was too far away. Anyone ever have this? The string seems fine now, responding, but if I go to far one way or the other, it won't. Anyway, I have it screwed in there. What's the problem with having JUST the screw? I'm going to my tech tomorrow to see if we can finagle something. Where can I order new parts for this thing? Should I buy a new pickup? Any help is appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarrellM5 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 fullcompass.com sells parts. I don't see that specific part listed but they can probably help you find what you need. Not sure about the piezo pickup situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie_Watt Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 When the screw came out you probably broke the wire going from the Piezo to the board. You may need to get a new Piezo and replace the damaged one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonbrianmerrill Posted May 28, 2016 Author Share Posted May 28, 2016 right, but it works now. if I put the saddle too far one way, it doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snhirsch Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Hey everyone, bit of a problem with a Line 6 Variax JTV. Which JTV model? All three (59, 69, 89) have different bridge setups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clay-man Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 right, but it works now. if I put the saddle too far one way, it doesn't. I had this problem on my 600 when I got it from Ebay. The piezo's ground contact is going bad. Shooting a bit of contact cleaner can usually help. In the end, I bought a new piezo and replaced it on mine.
