rustyshackleford Posted June 6, 2003 Report Share Posted June 6, 2003 I am currently building my first custom guitar and have a question. I want to have a hardtail bridge and I was wondering if there will be any differences in sound, setup, or other aspects of the guitar depending on which bridge I use. I was looking to either put the standard hardtail string through body type bridge or the wrap around stop tailpeice with adjustable saddle stlye bridge found on some newer Ibanez guitars? Would there be a difference between using these two bridges other than looks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted June 6, 2003 Report Share Posted June 6, 2003 Hi Rusty and welcome to the forum The string through tradtionally will give you better sustain while the modern wrap around stop tail piece like on the new Ibanez and some other popular models will be easier to install.
