The bridges are completely different, with there own set of pros and cons. The Fender bridge allows for action adjustment for each string. Really nice, because it really allows you to fine tune to each player. The bad, they ride on set screws that can travel up and down from the vibrations, although the string tension should prevent that. Gibson uses a floating bridge, meaning that when the all the strings are off and you turn the guitar onto its back, the bridge falls off... It rides up and down on two posts and thumb wheels. Because of this, you sacrifice the ability for fine tuning of the string action. Lower one side and that whole side lowers.. Another problem early on, was that each saddle was floating and when a string broke while being played, the saddle usually fell out. Either find the one that fell or keep a stash in the tool box. made things fun for road techs.

Blue loctite is all that comes to mind. Seems to be the common fix or clear nail polish - bright pink if he's been bad. You guys can do this fix, but you really want to make sure to take accurate measurements of the current heights of each saddle or have the repair shop do it.
