loose plastic part of Bridge on my guitar, need to fix it

[unleashthejay]

So I recently realized after changing strings that the plastic white part of the bridge was loose and can come right off. I only noticed when Plugged in and only herd the low e string and the rest of the guitar strings were faint. than i took the strings off and realized the plastic part was not glued in anymore. Before I put new strings on do I glue it back on? Do I take it to a pro? or do I just put it in place and put the strings on? I need Help I have a gig tonight and am surprised this happen. :bigeyes:

Well, it was glued before... I'd try to do it myself first.

Don't glue it.
Just put it back in.
Take it to a tech.
That thin strip of plastic under the saddle is the piezo element of your pickup system.
If there is an issue with it, it might need replacing.
Not a quick DIY job.

Didn't notice the piezo at all! Good point, sir!
