Hi guys, I live in Brazil and this is my 1st thread here. I needed a refret then left my Silo Special for about 5 days with one of 'best' local luthiers. Actually the fret job was quite good, but the guitar returned very dirty, and the worst: one of the neck/body screws - its groove, actually - returned loose (sorry if I don't know exactly the term).

So I made a short video showing this. You can see the screw is loose just when through its 'body' section - when it goes into and through the neck its torque ("screw grip") returns.

So I'd like to ask if this represents a thing I NEED to fix, or if I can just let it this way, for 2 reasons: 1) The other 4 screws provide the needed stability and 2) The torque of the neck screw should be enough to keep the neck/body firmly attached at its point.

here's the videolink - Um (mal)trato na Silo-02 on Vimeo

Any opinions would be much appreciated, thanks!
