We do have quite a few buttons in stock but to assure proper fit, I would order them straight from Godin. They may only be able to sell them in a set, but their prices are really reasonable and it’s a good idea to have more than a few in case there is a problem with the other buttons. Godin’s phone is514-457-7977

I can’t find a tuner for my broken g-string tuner. The plastic key cap broke off. I have upcoming gigs and need one bad. It is on a Godin XTSA guitar. I can replace it myself I just need the part. Do you have access to these? Can I buy one? If not, do you know where I can get a Godin tuner? Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Howard

A Stratocaster style guitar has springs that pull the bridge down towards the body in the back of the guitar. Most people use their tremolo arm infrequently, so we usually tighten those springs up so the bridge rests on the body. You can still pull down (flat) on the tremolo for effect, just not back (sharp). This really helps Strats stay in tune.

this is great, except i dont quite understand what you mean by ‘Tack the bridge down to the body using the springs located in the back.’ maybe im just not understanding correctly.
