Nalo1022 Posted May 6, 2004 Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 it does have a bridge its justa a non adjustable one. there are littleraised peices that i guesa are supposed to inotate it correctly...i had the same bridge on ym first guitar, and they arent horrible but unless space or soemthing leik that was an issue i wouldnt use one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devon Headen Posted May 6, 2004 Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 It's a wraparound bridge. Personally, I like them because the bridge assembly doesn't take up as much room. Bridge placement needs to be as precise as possible, and it should be angled for proper intonation. PRS uses them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars Posted May 8, 2004 Report Share Posted May 8, 2004 And if you want it intonatable, use a Badass bridge. Really, that's what it's called Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Rosenberger Posted May 8, 2004 Report Share Posted May 8, 2004 Badass Bridges are too bulky for me. I use these Adjustable Tailpiece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john Posted May 8, 2004 Report Share Posted May 8, 2004 what bugs me about those bridges is the fact that if you changed string guages from something light to something heavy(with 4 wound strings) the guitar would not intonate at all because the compensation on that bridge is designed for 3 wound and 3 solid strings. i`dont think i`ll ever use one, fair enough i only use 10`s(3w & 3s) but thats not the point.

GregP Posted May 8, 2004 Report Share Posted May 8, 2004 Probably not getting many answers because you just need to research, read, and most importantly, think it through. When I was trying to decide, it ended up seeming to me like the wraparound bridge would have been a good option if the intonation were more adjustable. The Wilkinson one linked to above was almost a winner for me, but in the end it seemed more flexible for me to go with TOM and string-through. If you use the Jr-style bridge, it seems to me that you'd have to account for a lot of factors in your design. Obviously it's a fine choice though... aren't LP Jr's good guitars?
