I should have learnt never to touch stuff but yet I still do.. 

Was trying to put these: 


On an american professional tele. 

The result: 



Was loose going in so tried the match stick trick, didnt feel much tighter tbh.. 
didnt use any glue.

4 match sticks later and the screw doing barrel rolls the hole is now wider than my first girlfriends..

Its actually so wide the screw is a long way from touching the sides haha.. 

fuck my life.
The only easy day, was yesterday...

    PVA glue and cocktail sticks. Cut off length and fit screw when glue is wet

    This. Glue, then pack the hole *fully* with them as tight as you can - tap them in with a small hammer if you need to - then put the screw in.

    I would try toothpicks and glue but I'm clearly inept!
