Prostheta Posted August 2, 2021 Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 I think that's pretty much the same alloy used in Chinesium bridges. Not for me, man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie H 72 Posted August 2, 2021 Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 (edited) I really liked it-maybe I’ll give it a go. It would be cool to have a replaceable option-so you could swap out the saddle when you feel like it. I guess that last video is essentially that. Cool.

JAK Posted August 3, 2021 Report Share Posted August 3, 2021 Well, that sent me down a YouTube rabbit hole... It's trying to achieve the opposite of what I (and many others) are usually looking for from a guitar; great sustain, rich harmonics, etc. But it does have its own sound/place, even if it does sound kinda similar to the plastic toy guitars I had as a toddler. Goes to show music can be made from all kinds of items. I'm not in any rush to make a rubber saddle muted guitar, however it's given me some ideas of where it could add to a mix/tune. Actually, it might be an interesting application in a bass design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizman62 Posted August 3, 2021 Report Share Posted August 3, 2021 There's many types of rubber, starting from the soft eraser type to semi hard car tyre to the hard rubber used for combs. Back in the day I read a book about guitar playing, written in the late sixties by a Finnish session player. If memory serves me right, he mentioned tucking a piece of foam rubber or something similar right in front of the bridge for a slightly muted sound pretty similar to those rubber bridge guitars.
