Nope, the video was filmed with the front camera of my phone so its flipped. 👍

I think the weedwhackers are a bit too low tension. Next thing im gonna try are the steel core weedwhackers.

They are... I tried again today... The E string is very soft sound. Not sure. I love the sounds in the two firsts strings ..

yes

The rocking bar bridge intensionally has holes that are larger than the posts and beveled so that it can rock back and forth when you use the bigsby, hence the name. (Worth mentioning, the posts on my guitar are just sligthly narrower which eliminates some of the rocking but to solve that you can just use the included base.) I think the buzz comes from the generally loose fitting construction of the cheap t.o.m. style bridges on their budget models. Thus giving you a reason to buy a higher end model.

@@samuelzetterman thank you yeah the Saddles are to loose they need a spring on each screw at least. But I refuse to play that game just buy a better bridge for as cheap as you can and be done with it. Play Guitar not work on it or have problems all the time. Love my Rat Rod but that bridge has to go.

@@viperBSG A rat rod? Nice! Love those things. I tried for a while with just cramming cut ur pieces of rubber and junk in there to keep it still but after a while you just end up bending the retainer wire and it just rattles again. Plus i think the rocking bar or other options just look and sound better.

😂😂😂😂

Theyre Thomanns own brand, one is the Thomann 111BR and the other is a Thomann Rockabilly BK

Thanks mate!

Well it worked for me👍

You should push the whole bridge forward a little. If your bridge is pinned you might need to pull the pins out to push it forward.

@@samuelzetterman i didn't know one could do that. I thought pinned meant you couldn't move it

@@konjunto2477 a lot of people dont like the pins and pull them out annyway, most gretsch users prefer double sided tape. There are two types of pinned bridges the real "pinned" bridges have two metal pins that can just be pulled out with plyers, and the "secured" where the threaded rods that hold the bridge go all the way through the wood base, those can be screwed out a bit with a small allen key.

​@samuelzetterman Thanks for the informative & helpful video. I know it's 2 years ago now - and I've never worked on pinned bridge, but if anyone reads this, MAKE SURE to CHECK if there is paint/top coat finish around the pins. If there is, use an xacto knife to cut a separation around the pins and the paint/finish before you pull them. Otherwise, the paint and finish could likely pull up with the pin and chip or crack the paint & finish around them. Again, however, I haven't seem one of these in person - just a word of caution.

It could deffinetly help atleast a bit. The strings stay in place better than on the TOM style bridge mine had originally. The E string does still jump out ocationally. Imma have to look into if the string spoiler is the cause of the problem, but i wouldnt actually think so unless youre doing some major dives with the bigsby.

Glad to be of service!👍

Simular good bridge? Simular too whats in this video, or simular to the original?

@@samuelzetterman Sorry I meant similar to yours. But do give one or two other options (one like original too). Thanks

@@faautobahna9416 The only real recomendations i have is what i used in this video, the standard made by Gretch rocking bar bridge. They deffinetly do come in gold but im not sure where to get it. I bought my bridge from thomann since i live in europe, but thomann only sells the silver version. If youre picky on tuning stability go for a tune o matic style bridge (tom). But you might need to check measurements. Try going to gretsch-talk.com and asking some questions. Look what other people have done and get some inspiration!

Yes thats correct, you lose a little bit of the "rocking" feature but some people don't like that feature anyway.

Its called Travis Picking (after Merle Travis), if youre just starting out you might find this video usefull: ruclips.net/video/bul6zo6IxOI/видео.html

@@samuelzetterman Ah, OK! I already do Travis picking but without a pick - it looked and sounded very different with a flat pick, much more rockabilly, I like it.

@@Saladzingers Thats the way Jim Heath from Reverend Horton Heat does it. Personally I dont like the soft sound of just my thumb and I find thumbpicks uncomfortable.

Its actually pretty much perfect, if i pulled out the bridge pins i could possibly make it a little better, but its not noticable at all.

@@samuelzetterman Ok, i was wondering, now i can order it without doubt. Thank you.

@@pawelb6003 Sounds great! Thats exactly why i made this video, people seem to think they need to get tru arc bridges with custom measurements but atleast for the streamliners that is not necessary.

@@samuelzetterman Hi, I have finnaly bought Gretsch rocking bar bridge from thomann and put flat wound thomastik-infeld strings 10-44. Intonation is really good and guitar sounds awesome. Keep playing your guitar and never stop. You are very good.

@@pawelb6003 Thanks, sounds great!
