Hello Fly-Fans,
this doofus here needs your help-.-.
I changed the strings on my refined Fly and the dogbone (not the tiny balls, but the long brick with two ball shapes on top)
fell out. I was lucky to find it.
I cleaned it and based on recommendations, I put it back in and added a small amount of thin superglue down the sides (still too much in hindsight). I used a tiny syringe and put a drop on the front and back.
After the new strings were on and the vibrato was set perfectly...time to play! But the piezo on the E-String is now very quiet compared to the high output of the other strings. I can still hear it though, even at living room volume.
What can I do? Get it out and use the tiniest amount of glue before putting it in?
Should the glue be on the bottom (I thought that would be bad since the direct contact to the piezo element would be lost)
How do I get it out?
Acetone? Would that damage the piezo?
Cut the glue with a tiny Blade in the gap? (I tried with a fresh razorblade and a scalpel)
Can i glue a nail to the top of the dogbone and use pliers? (I can't grab it at the moment)
How exactly were they glued in at the factory?
If I can fix this, I got a fully functional almost damage free Fly. I love the weight and tone.
If I can't get it out no matter what, is there a guide to solder in a new piezo saddle? (I'd rather reuse that insert)
Which types can I use with the preamp of the refined Fly?
Thank you all, and I hope you can enjoy your weekend.
EDIT: added a picture of the same bridge as mine:

That little inserts the strings rest upon...
