This video is really great! It short and to the point, but gives you all the information you need to make a decision on which bridge you like best. Good Job!
B4D-W0LF I was going through all the bridges I personally owned. Unfortunately I haven't owned a bigsby in a long time. Are you after more information on a bigsby at all?
I know about all the bigsby types there are now, but I actually am trying to build a custom guitar, and I want to keep tunage, And have a humbucker bridge for a telecaster. The b5 fits and comes with a bridge replacement piece, but... instead of that, I already have a bridge but I think it's for a through-body ferrule setup, I don't know for sure.
Thanks, very informative. I plan to get a floyd rose but I experienced before, it was hard to balance, I mean tightening the strings really lifted the whole bridge forward, and took me long time to find the balance:)
There aren’t any that I know of. I tend to go for Ernie ball hybrid slinky strings if you want both standard down to drop C, however lower than that you will want to change to a heavier gauge. It depends on the range of tunings you use or are after for idea string sets. I would avoid floating bridges if you are changing tuning a lot as they can be a pain to set up each time you change tuning. What tunings are you looking to range between?
Rorz Uk Thanks for the reply, the tuning range i'm looking for are drop A through drop D but I don't know what string gauges to use. (I'm new to electric guitar)
@@xix6351 that's a big range for any gauge of strings. I would go for 13's though they might be a bit too stiff for standard tuning/drop D. Anything lighter will be massively floppy at drop A though. I personally would have a guitar set from Standard/Drop D to Drop C with 10's or 11's and another from Drop B to drop A with 13's or 14's. But thats only an option if you have two guitars.
@@xix6351 No. The locking nut works as a clamp. you will undo them with an allenkey (hex key) swap your strings and then re-clamp them. The design means any regularly used thickness will work fine. I have experience with 8's-14's and not had a problem with either.
the basic springs and hole position work, however top/side bolt positions vary. I believe you can swap them, but might not be a simple fix without some work to the body.
Not if the evertune is locked for perfect intonation. It does seem weird at first. This is why I use it for my rhythm chords and powerchords while recording but not for any lead or riff work.
@@RoryPrice I wonder why there are no other companies adding a fast locking screws, as well as for locking the Floyd rose. Kinda like the Kahler is doing.
The strat style bridge can be fixed, have the option to bend down only, or be lightly floating. It will never float as much as a floyd rose but you will be able to lift it about the same as performing a bend. Basically look for a tremolo arm (whammy bar) hole. that will let you know if it is fixed or if you can at least bend it down in pitch. Hope that helpped.
Hi, on the 1st black electric guitar @1:47, how do you adjust the string height/action? Do i turn the screws at the top or do i have to turn the screws at the side?? I have a Dean with a similar bridge and i've been looking everywhere for setup videos but nobody showed the actual process.
Quiet Giant: the action is adjusted by the two bigger screw slots on the top of the saddle piece. The smaller screws that are on each individual saddle are for setting the intonation.
@@RoryPrice thanks, i'll do a setup of my Dean tomorrow. I've been told yesterday that the gear wheels on each side of the tune-o-matic bridge adjusts action/height so it was kinda confusing.
How does the second e Guitar bridge called that you can bend back to get an highter tone, because mine does only bend forward to get less tention but i want more tention. Thx.
NC3! You need what is called a floating tremolo bridge. The most common being a floyd rose bridge. For this you will need either a new guitar or be willing to route out a new hole in the guitar body to fit the bridge. I wouldn't advise doing this yourself unless you do wood work engineering as it needs good precision for the bridge to work and have intonation. Hope that helps
You should straighten your springs out so they're parallel on your trems, that way all 3 springs are carrying an equal distribution of tension. When they are in a V shape like that, the center spring carries less tension than the outer 2.
That makes complete sense, I may have done this at the time due to requiring more tension when the spring support bracket was screwed in fully when changing my strings up in gauge. I do tend to do this no, however I do appreciate the input, I will keep this in mind in future.
Me being a noob today. I was at a Sam Ash and I tried to tune the Floyd Rose with the head stock tuners instead of the bridge tuners. An employee corrected me nicely saying that if I do that, then I could damage the locking mechanism on the nut. I didn't break it, thankfully.
nice video man...but the bridge which you explained with the black guitar jackson at 4:23 is that safe for dive bomb like stuffs.... majority says for those crazy tremolo tricks you need a floating bridge or two way bridge...what do you say????
As you suggested, No it won’t do a full dive bomb. You can drop the pitch a fair bit but no where near as much as you can with a two way floating tremolo system. :)
Rorz Uk thanks for your reply man...actually my guitar have those kind of bridges with little bit of downward movement on tremelo press stick to the body no locking nut...i scared to do those whamy tricks mainly dive bomb like stuffs during jam or practice as if the bridge ripped out from the body and the entire thing come to my hand 😕 if I could change that to floating one but i wonder that whether that will be compatible or fit to the body or not 😕
Thanks for your reply...yes you are absolutely right i tried it but the dive was not 100% during pitch in it was more or less fine but during the reverse while I was releasing the whamy bar sound was almost half dead..and since the whamy is one way so I cant pull it up aswell to create the tension of the strings...but whatever its happening its behaving accurately the same what you said just above...and last but not the least the byproduct of this dives what I am getting is a horrible kind of detunning compatible with some unknown kind of genre of music from some outer planet of solar system which we don’t know yet due to lack of locking nut may be...lol
Joseph Daniel I haven’t hear of the double locking 3 tremolo. Unless you mean Ibanez’s edge 3. If you mean the Ibanez bridge then it’s one of my favourites so well worth investing. If not, please send me a link and I will have a closer look for you.
Looking at them both I believe the cort is the better of the two (I am personally a massive Ibanez fan so that's hard to say) what made you pick these two?
Rorz Uk these 2guitars are available in my local area, and these are the 2guitars i can afford.☺ I'm j just confused since u told cort is better, thanks u made my confusion clear.
I was running through all the guitars I owned and had access to at the time. I didn't own a Bigsby at the time, however I do have a fair bit of experience with them. Is there anything you'd like to know about the Bigsby?
Well maybe it's asked too much, but can you do a comparison for those typical les paul bridges since you've covered all the strat type bridges in this video ? I know only 2 types and probably the most common ones, but certainly there are more out there ?
I will admit i'm not a specialist on Les Paul guitars so i wouldn't feel comfortable making a video dedicated to them, I know most commonly they use a "Tune-o-matic" bridges or "Wraparound" but haven't studied them enough to know more about them. You could try contacting Rob Chapman or Chapman guitars, he owns a few Les Paul guitars and may know more. Sorry to not be more help.
Hi there!. In your Scheter Omen, do the strings touche on outer edge of the bridge, just before going to the holes on the body?. My Scheter does it... I wonder how affects the sustain or string feedback vibration...Regards!
I'm not quite sure what you are asking, but hopfully this will answer your questions. The strings touch the 6 adjustable saddles that are on the bridge and then are free standing until reaching the holes on the body. they don't touch any other section on the bridge.
It must have some effect,It would depend on the level of pressure applied to the bridge to how much it would effect it. So yes it would effect it, but probably not that much.
KISSarmy it was 14 years ago that I built that guitar so I’m not sure. But I do find them on a website called GAK and the possibly have them on amazon (the world of everything lol)
Not sure if you are UK or USA but this link seems good. www.stewmac.com/Hardware_and_Parts/Bridges_and_Tailpieces/Bridges_and_Tailpieces_for_Electric_Guitar/Floyd_Rose_Tremolos/Floyd_Rose_Special_Series_Tremolo_System.html?pref_currency=P&shipcalc=UK&gclid=CjwKCAjwsJ3ZBRBJEiwAtuvtlFXaou3EJik2UAyDL5d40tQjJN-Q9O-M_RfGVQkXkywu6KzpvPhB0BoCFtAQAvD_BwE
Isaac Snider it is he Ibanez S470. I enjoy he entire S series by Ibanez but the higher the number the better basically. The metallic paint finish makes it a little unique but the hardware in the guitar is stand except the bridge pickup that I swapped for a Seymour Duncan Invader. :)
Have you ever try the Seymour distortion vs invader? Wich one is better? And how clean they are when, obviously is on clean chanel? I have a lot of questions about this two particular pickups Would be awesome if you do a video about pickups Good vid you explain so good
Esteban Quijano! Thank you. I have the Seymour Duncan invader and I love it. It's perfectly clean when needed but has loads of crunch when you want it. As for the distortion I cannot compare them as I don't have one. I do however has the Seymour duncan blackouts and could compare active to passive pickups if that would still help you?
Do you have an opinion on the Fat 6 tremelo bridge? I recently bought a Gio series Ibanez that has it, and I'm trying to find out more information about it. Thanks.
The Fat-6 is basically a chunkier version of the basic tremolo as found on the grey Jackson guitar at 3mins into this video. From my experience there isn't really a difference in them apart from the size of the plate, but this doesn't really affect how it's played. - I hope this helps.
You didn't mention how there are two versions of the Strat-style/hard tail bridge. one version has two posts (the one you showed) that hold it into the guitar and another version has six screws (known as a set bridge). I prefer the set version and I'm looking for a tutorial on how to change a post bridge for a set bring. The guitar I have in my picture (Ibanez GIO GSA60) is the one I want to convert so I can put a heavier gauge on it.
Going from a bridge that is purely screwed onto the top of the guitar to a set bridge that has a tremolo required routing out the body with the correct dimensions for the new bridge. This isn't easy and normally costs more than it is worth for the tools or man hours. My advise is that the GIO series is the affordable range so instead of doing alterations, i would just invest in the guitar you want. hope this helps.
Eetu Koponen apart from the fact I traded the omen 8 in for the 6 and that this has Omen written on the headstock/truss rod cover I guess you could be right
I wanted to think it was the Demon, just because it sounds caller to me. I guess I just got upgraded pickups. I tend to rewire most of my guitars to make them personal to me. Didn't mean for my last comment to sound s blunt.
What's your opinion on so called vintage style hardtail bridges (non-tremelo system)? A couple of different guitars I'm looking at say they have string through body vintage hardtail but I can't see a backplate on them so I'm totally confused. >.
Fenrir first off your my 100th comment so that’s awesome. Thanks for watching... vintage hardtails wouldn’t need a backplate, if it’s string through they will have in-set holes that the bullet or ball of the string sits in. So no backplate but 6 small holes. I quite like that design myself if this is the bridge style you are on about. Let me know if that answers your question.
I think I've been looking at too many and mixed some things up. I'm actually looking for a guitar for my daughter and a Squier Mini Strat was one of the options. I've just checked Fender's website and that has regular vintage hardtail, not string through. A couple of retailers have it listed as a string through vintage hardtail, hence my confusion! I'm also considering the Jackson Minion DInky which is a string through design and the bridge looks very similar. I prefer tune-o-matic style bridges myself, so easy to setup. Thank you for the quick reply though and congrats on your 100th comment. :)
Fenrir I personally prefer Jackson’s but that’s just for style. Both are good guitars to start with. All hardtails are quite easy once you get to know them. So don’t let the bridge sway away from the overall sound and feel of the guitar.
Yeah I can cope with the bridge, for kids there really isn't a lot of choice to begin with so I can't be too picky. I actually have a Jackson myself and really enjoy it. I'll let my daughter make the final choice but I think she'll end up picking a Jackson based on the style of them.
Is there a difference between Hardtail bridges vs. Fixed bridges? Or are they the same thing? I'm looking at upgrading my tele, and I'm not sure what to get off of the hipshot website.
ok so they are kinda of the same thing. A Fixed bridge covers all bridges that don't move, so a hard tail is a type of fixed bridge. A hard tail bridge has the end of the strings (bullets or balls etc) in the bridge somewhere on top of the guitar, some other fixed bridges have string through options. So all hardtail bridges are fixed bridges, but not all fixed bridges are hard tails. hope that helps
Lamborgatti -47 these where the guitars I owned at the time unfortunately I didn’t own a kahler or a bigsby (or a tele hot rod) at the time. If you need more info on the kahler I can send you a link?
I don't see the point in buying this Evertune bridge. Bending is one of the most important things in guitar playing and if you know how to play well you won't need it in the slightest.
metal elitist , fair enough. It's why I personally set the G-E strings so they can be bent and leave the others floating. To be fair I only use this guitar for recording as it saves ever having to retune during the sessions over and over as usual.
That's pretty epic. I really didn't expect this video to do so well when I made it. SO much has changed. Especially how much i now do pay attention to my appearance 😂 That wall I'm standing in front of isn't even there anymore, I knocked it down about 2 years ago!
@@TheGuitarNinja Nah that's cool, I'm always conscious of my appearance, truth be told I have not even the courage to stand infront of the world and show my guitar skills. Cool I'll check out your new channel.
That is a custom built guitar I ordered from Halo Custom. I gave them the specs based on a template body shape and a few months later it was in existence
skipped one type: floating bridges on a hollow body or archtop. (think old jazz guitars and mandolins) resulting in much more cross string resonance over a solid body. particularly together with f-holes. that shape isnt just for show, it allows the bridge to move.
Jeremy Bringas sorry I didn't include this in the video. I personally haven't owned either the kahler or the bigsby so couldn't cover these in this video. Are you after more information on the kahler? If so I will try and find some sources for you.
Personally I think the Evertune bridge takes a lot of the personality away from the music . I know you can adjust it so you can vibrato the strings but it seems to kills the feel . I guess in digital world you can correct this with software effects
Daniel Furlong FairPlay. I think they are great for some styles and for recording but agree with a fair few styles it's not right. Especially for live shows.
I did indeed, the Kahler, Bigsby and Hot Rod are all missing from this video for 2 reasons. 1 these where all the guitar bridges I had at the time to show and explain and 2, when making this video I wasn't aware of the Kahler bridge (although I was aware of the other 2). If you want more information on the Kahler though, I would be happy to send you a link to some information.
OK so here is a wiki page all about the Kahler Tremolo system bridges en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kahler_Tremolo_System and here is a series of video for setting up the Kahler bridges: ruclips.net/video/Iaex6G5qNWU/видео.html Hopefully this covers what you need to know, however if not, feel free to ask any questions and I will do my best to answer them for you.
When you set your springs that way the two outside springs have more tension than the middle spring. It is far better to have all the spring at equal tension..
Shane Eyanson the issue I had was the spring plate was screwed in as far as it could go and I needed to add more tension so that’s why they are at an angle. I also didn’t have any spare springs at the time. (my fault when making the guitar I guess but I was 14)
Indeed, this video was based on the guitars I owned at the time. However I now have more experience with these bridges now and could always supply some information relating to them if you need more insight.
I watched to find out about a bridge, saddle or whatever its called that hold the ball end of the string on an electric guitar. The string does not pass through the body. And the "what-cha-ma-giggy" holds the ball end of the string and allows intonation adjustment. But he left that type "what-cha-ma-call-it" OUT OF A VIDEO he claims explains the different bridges. Total waste if my time.
Sorry I didn't cover the bridge you were after. The type of bridge you are looking at from the explanation you've given is a Les Paul style tune-o-matic. The saddle is the same as the one I covered but the main back part of the bridge holds the strings in place. This works the same way as the Tune-o-matic but has slightly less sustain as the strings don't go into the wood itself. I hope this helps.
It seems over the top and doesn't work for a lot of times but is a great tool for recording to get perfect tune and intonation, but I must admit I rarely use it myself.
since I start investing with this company I have been living a better life. Geting my profit for my investment today is exciting. Thanks to AUTOMATE company..

theres also the jazzmaster bridge
This is everything I came.here for and more! ty!
You're welcome. glad the video helped
Thanks, very informative. I plan to get a floyd rose but I experienced before, it was hard to balance, I mean tightening the strings really lifted the whole bridge forward, and took me long time to find the balance:)
By the way, is the Jackson/`Strat type can be easily replaced by a Floyd Rose type? No cutting on wood, etc.
Jackson and Ibanez have their own floating bridges that look and work the EXACT same as a Floyd rose and are much cheaper as well
Ibanez edge and zero resistance bridges are my fav.
Thanks! Very helpful! Never seen a classic guitar with a cut, must be interesting.
It helps reach high notes so gives more options. :)e

As for the distortion I cannot compare them as I don't have one. I do however has the Seymour duncan blackouts and could compare active to passive pickups if that would still help you?
Yes! Thank you! Do you have Fb page?
Esteban Quijano! I do indeed. It's /RorzUK so facebook.com/rorzuk
Do you have an opinion on the Fat 6 tremelo bridge? I recently bought a Gio series Ibanez that has it, and I'm trying to find out more information about it. Thanks.
The Fat-6 is basically a chunkier version of the basic tremolo as found on the grey Jackson guitar at 3mins into this video. From my experience there isn't really a difference in them apart from the size of the plate, but this doesn't really affect how it's played. - I hope this helps.
great explanation
+Shaytangolova thank you glad to help
You didn't mention how there are two versions of the Strat-style/hard tail bridge. one version has two posts (the one you showed) that hold it into the guitar and another version has six screws (known as a set bridge). I prefer the set version and I'm looking for a tutorial on how to change a post bridge for a set bring. The guitar I have in my picture (Ibanez GIO GSA60) is the one I want to convert so I can put a heavier gauge on it.
*set bridge*
Going from a bridge that is purely screwed onto the top of the guitar to a set bridge that has a tremolo required routing out the body with the correct dimensions for the new bridge. This isn't easy and normally costs more than it is worth for the tools or man hours. My advise is that the GIO series is the affordable range so instead of doing alterations, i would just invest in the guitar you want. hope this helps.
Good Video THX
You're welcome.
Great explanation, thanks :)
Not a problem. Glad it worked for you :)
what is that electricity guitar of 2:27 ?
Sai Croses 2:27 is a schecter diamond series. I believe it's called either the demon or omen.
Rorz Uk it's a demon. Omen does not have active pickups, which is the only difference between the two (aside from Omen having more finish options).
Eetu Koponen apart from the fact I traded the omen 8 in for the 6 and that this has Omen written on the headstock/truss rod cover I guess you could be right
I wanted to think it was the Demon, just because it sounds caller to me. I guess I just got upgraded pickups. I tend to rewire most of my guitars to make them personal to me. Didn't mean for my last comment to sound s blunt.
Rorz Uk don't worry about it mate, love your content tho!
What's your opinion on so called vintage style hardtail bridges (non-tremelo system)? A couple of different guitars I'm looking at say they have string through body vintage hardtail but I can't see a backplate on them so I'm totally confused. >.
Fenrir first off your my 100th comment so that’s awesome. Thanks for watching... vintage hardtails wouldn’t need a backplate, if it’s string through they will have in-set holes that the bullet or ball of the string sits in. So no backplate but 6 small holes. I quite like that design myself if this is the bridge style you are on about. Let me know if that answers your question.
I think I've been looking at too many and mixed some things up. I'm actually looking for a guitar for my daughter and a Squier Mini Strat was one of the options. I've just checked Fender's website and that has regular vintage hardtail, not string through. A couple of retailers have it listed as a string through vintage hardtail, hence my confusion! I'm also considering the Jackson Minion DInky which is a string through design and the bridge looks very similar. I prefer tune-o-matic style bridges myself, so easy to setup. Thank you for the quick reply though and congrats on your 100th comment. :)
Fenrir I personally prefer Jackson’s but that’s just for style. Both are good guitars to start with. All hardtails are quite easy once you get to know them. So don’t let the bridge sway away from the overall sound and feel of the guitar.
Yeah I can cope with the bridge, for kids there really isn't a lot of choice to begin with so I can't be too picky. I actually have a Jackson myself and really enjoy it. I'll let my daughter make the final choice but I think she'll end up picking a Jackson based on the style of them.
Are you talking about like a hipshot bridge or..?
Is there a difference between Hardtail bridges vs. Fixed bridges? Or are they the same thing?
I'm looking at upgrading my tele, and I'm not sure what to get off of the hipshot website.
ok so they are kinda of the same thing. A Fixed bridge covers all bridges that don't move, so a hard tail is a type of fixed bridge. A hard tail bridge has the end of the strings (bullets or balls etc) in the bridge somewhere on top of the guitar, some other fixed bridges have string through options. So all hardtail bridges are fixed bridges, but not all fixed bridges are hard tails. hope that helps
what about the kahler
Lamborgatti -47 these where the guitars I owned at the time unfortunately I didn’t own a kahler or a bigsby (or a tele hot rod) at the time. If you need more info on the kahler I can send you a link?
I need therapy after looking at the blue guitar, you know which one I mean, I can’t un-see it, it’s quite disturbing, please don’t show it in public
dan mackay 😂😂😂😂😂
I don't see the point in buying this Evertune bridge. Bending is one of the most important things in guitar playing and if you know how to play well you won't need it in the slightest.
metal elitist , fair enough. It's why I personally set the G-E strings so they can be bent and leave the others floating. To be fair I only use this guitar for recording as it saves ever having to retune during the sessions over and over as usual.
It's a cheaper alternative to a good in-tune studio sound, I guess.
Not sure what you mean by that but fair enough. I must admit I use my PRS Custom these days anyway. This video is a few years old now.
Great video!
ZeriouS thank you.
Hi, I'm your 1'000th like on this video.
That's pretty epic. I really didn't expect this video to do so well when I made it. SO much has changed. Especially how much i now do pay attention to my appearance 😂 That wall I'm standing in front of isn't even there anymore, I knocked it down about 2 years ago!
sorry just realised how weird that comment may have seemed - This is my new guitar teaching page - The Guitar Ninja
@@TheGuitarNinja Nah that's cool, I'm always conscious of my appearance, truth be told I have not even the courage to stand infront of the world and show my guitar skills. Cool I'll check out your new channel.
What the hell was that last guitar brand? Looked super clean my man!
That is a custom built guitar I ordered from Halo Custom. I gave them the specs based on a template body shape and a few months later it was in existence
skipped one type: floating bridges on a hollow body or archtop. (think old jazz guitars and mandolins) resulting in much more cross string resonance over a solid body. particularly together with f-holes. that shape isnt just for show, it allows the bridge to move.
Cuda FX that’s true. I missed a few more as I didn’t own guitars with those bridges at the time. But worth a mention. Thank you for the comment :)
Can u sell me one of those ibanez a bit cheaper if u wish coz I need one of them floating bridge plz
JayRee unfortunately not. I have already sold them and the only floating bridges I have now I use regularly
@@RoryPrice not a problem mate as long as dey r in good hands i have no issues, i needed one badly though bt it's ok better luck next tym✌️😉
Kahler bridge ?
Jeremy Bringas sorry I didn't include this in the video. I personally haven't owned either the kahler or the bigsby so couldn't cover these in this video. Are you after more information on the kahler? If so I will try and find some sources for you.
u r welcome bro ;)
you forgot one of the best ones, kahler
otherwise, awesome vid
Yeah I just didn't have access to one at the time I made this video. Same with a bigsby and a couple of others.
I want an evertune bridge!!
INGSOC they are awesome things. Though need to set them up differently if you is any to bend etc.
Rorz Uk I mostly play rhythm, don't bend the Strings much , that bridge looks so comfortable for a palm muter!!
INGSOC then yes it’s perfect for you and it is comfortable to play.
You 5 years ago wow!
6 now 😅 that was a slow response
Fucking love this explainations
awesome, Glad it worked for you :)
Personally I think the Evertune bridge takes a lot of the personality away from the music . I know you can adjust it so you can vibrato the strings but it seems to kills the feel . I guess in digital world you can correct this with software effects
Daniel Furlong FairPlay. I think they are great for some styles and for recording but agree with a fair few styles it's not right. Especially for live shows.
Where tremolo bridge
coc with deep sumit 007 ka fan the grey Jackson has a basic tremolo bridge and the two blue guitars have more advanced floating tremolo bridges.
You forgot about the Kahler Bridge
I did indeed, the Kahler, Bigsby and Hot Rod are all missing from this video for 2 reasons. 1 these where all the guitar bridges I had at the time to show and explain and 2, when making this video I wasn't aware of the Kahler bridge (although I was aware of the other 2). If you want more information on the Kahler though, I would be happy to send you a link to some information.
You can send me some information about Kahler guitar bridges
OK so here is a wiki page all about the Kahler Tremolo system bridges
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kahler_Tremolo_System
and here is a series of video for setting up the Kahler bridges: ruclips.net/video/Iaex6G5qNWU/видео.html
Hopefully this covers what you need to know, however if not, feel free to ask any questions and I will do my best to answer them for you.
METALLICA RULES!!!
Have no idea why people think that setting up your springs like this is correct?? Because its not!
Shane Eyanson well the balance is there and the tuning and intonation holds so it seems fine. However I am curious to know, what is the “correct” way?
When you set your springs that way the two outside springs have more tension than the middle spring. It is far better to have all the spring at equal tension..
Sorry springs! LOL
Shane Eyanson the issue I had was the spring plate was screwed in as far as it could go and I needed to add more tension so that’s why they are at an angle. I also didn’t have any spare springs at the time. (my fault when making the guitar I guess but I was 14)
You only show modern style metal-ish bridges, nothing classic really like a bigsby or floating trapeze tailpieces, etc.
Indeed, this video was based on the guitars I owned at the time. However I now have more experience with these bridges now and could always supply some information relating to them if you need more insight.
4:31
Dude you look like ricky lafleur from trailer park boys
I watched to find out about a bridge, saddle or whatever its called that hold the ball end of the string on an electric guitar. The string does not pass through the body. And the "what-cha-ma-giggy" holds the ball end of the string and allows intonation adjustment. But he left that type "what-cha-ma-call-it" OUT OF A VIDEO he claims explains the different bridges. Total waste if my time.
Sorry I didn't cover the bridge you were after. The type of bridge you are looking at from the explanation you've given is a Les Paul style tune-o-matic. The saddle is the same as the one I covered but the main back part of the bridge holds the strings in place. This works the same way as the Tune-o-matic but has slightly less sustain as the strings don't go into the wood itself. I hope this helps.
@@RoryPrice ok, so now you made it so that was not time wasted... Thank you.
@@terryglenweaver Glad to have helped. Let me know if you have anything else you wish to know about guitar. Happy to answer wherever I can.

Holy. Ricky from trailer park boys
Matt Kat Im not sure of the reference, but interested in what you mean. Please explain 😊
dizzy watching you wave the instruments around
😅
so with a Floyd Rose you're making the guitar a unic by cutting "the balls off". lol.
took me way too long to see this comment 😂
na ... no lockers on the nylon beast .. im done ... no floyd ... your shit ;)
the last one is bullshit who cares for a so complicated system
It seems over the top and doesn't work for a lot of times but is a great tool for recording to get perfect tune and intonation, but I must admit I rarely use it myself.
since I start investing with this company I have been living a better life. Geting my profit for my investment today is exciting. Thanks to AUTOMATE company..
