Am. Strat bridge saddle screw slowly unscrews

Anybody had this problem. I think it's the high E only, but I'm wondering if others are slipping and just not as obvious.

Which screw? The intonation screw?

Ive had problems with my high e intonation screw coming loose from the vibration of playing on my mim 60s. no big deal all it means is that you have a resonate guitar. just keep an eye on it

The two screws that control the bridge saddle/string height.

Believe it or not, both are common problems. Place a tiny drop of Loctite 222MS (readily available in home improvement and hardware stores) on the screw thread where it meets the saddle thread. If the screw ever has to be readjusted, the locktite seal can easily be broken with the turning of the allen wrench or screwdriver (as appropriate).

Thanks! I was wondering if the less aggressive loctite would be safe to use.
