ralpal Posted August 22, 2006 Report Posted August 22, 2006 I was thinking of using on of these on my next project My question is this. Does this type of bridge work better with particular scale lengths? or is it a case of one size fitting all? Any light that you could shed on this will be greatly appreciated. Quote

Don't get these bridges - Get the ones that have adjustable saddles like this: http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Bridges,_tailp...und_Bridge.html I wouldn't want a guitar with a bridge that has no adjustments for intonation.

Don't know that I'd fancy a bridge with screws sticking out of the back of it like that. Quote
vaxination Posted August 23, 2006 Report Posted August 23, 2006 with all the adjustments, do these bridges install perpendicular to the center line (i am talking about post locations) or do these need to be angled like other tune-o-matic bridges? Quote
Mr Alex Posted August 23, 2006 Report Posted August 23, 2006 I have that exact bridge, the quality of the plating is rubbish. So bad I would've sent it back if I could've been bothered, but considering I bought it for my own guitar, I don't really care about that sort of stuff. I would line the posts up perpendicular, and any further adjustment(if necessary) can be made with the tiny grub screws. Quote
Daniel Sorbera Posted August 23, 2006 Report Posted August 23, 2006 I have this one and I'm very satisfied with the quality. It's pricey but IMO worth it. Quote
custom22 Posted August 26, 2006 Report Posted August 26, 2006 Those types of bridges are wonderful, but i dont know that specific one. They generally still have screws to set it, and once it is set (if set correctly) never needs adjustment. Quote

The pigtail bridge is really nice too, but I've never found one in black. Quote
