Nocturnal Supremacy Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 Okay, I'm now onto buying a bridge for my guitar project. I just want a simple cheap bridge that's easy to string. I want my guitar to be stringed through the body, so that the bridge isn't very visible, like this: Which bridge would be best suitable for this, out of the three on this Ebay auction?

Primal Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 Did you not even read the auction at all? It tells you which one to specify... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexybeast Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 B3 is the only string through body option on the page, so I guess that one's your choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nocturnal Supremacy Posted October 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 (edited) Did you not even read the auction at all? It tells you which one to specify... I know... Being 15 years old, and having no experience with building guitars before, I need to know which model would be the best for this type of guitar. Or doesn't it make a difference?

Primal Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 *slaps forehead* You said you wanted a string through body, and the auction says, "B3. This is strung through the body." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batfink Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 Just a point but the picture you said you wanted it to look like is a TOM but you've linked to a hardtail Strat type ?!?!? Why not use a TOM if thats the look you want - CH sells them too, check his shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not use a TOM if thats the look you want - CH sells them too, check his shop. These? It's just I don't have much of an idea really, where would the strings go to once they've gone through the TOM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primal Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 Sounds like you need to do a lot more reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nocturnal Supremacy Posted October 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 Wow, you people are a lot of help, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primal Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 Sarcasm won't get you anywhere. What have we done to *not* help you? We've told you which one of those bridges you need. As for the TOM bridge, you should know EXACTLY where the strings go... you even have a picture of one! Like I said, you need to do some reading. You can't expect us to be willing to answer every little question you have if it is evident that you haven't attempted to find the answer yourself... Just my $0.02.

pmarlin Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 The one in your picture and the theones in the auction are totally different, I just bought the stuff for the one in your picture from Stew Mac. The TOM and the front and back string thru ferrules, try there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marksound Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 It's not that these people are not a lot of help, it's that you don't seem to have specified what it is that you want. In your picture, the strings go across the bridge, through ferrules into and through the body. If that's what you want, look at your picture. By the way, I think you need to do some more studying too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doeringer Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 Noct, this is one of the most helpful communities of any kind that I have found, but you do have to do your own homework. Most answeres are already there, just look. I usually find answers to questions that I didn't even think of while searching. Good luck, keep us up to date on your projects.

Sambo Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 Can i make a recommendation? Go to amazon or whatever (from the ebay auction i assume ur in the UK), and buy a copy of 'hot to build an electric guitar'. Before you even think of doing anything, Read read read and read some more. And pay attention in your DT classes... you'll learn alot S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spazzyone Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 Go for B3 hardtail in your first pic as its easier to install the T.O.M requiers much knowledge to install correctly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
