Nalo1022 Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 I recently have been looking at my old first guitar and started thinkin that i could probably convert it from a stoptailbridge peice, liek on the LP Jrs and PRS guitars, to a string through Tune-o-matic bridge. Its a Slammer by Hamer SP1F-CS. http://www.hamerguitars.com/img/pdf/slammer2003.pdf its on the 3rd page and is the cherry sunburst. What exactly do i have to do for the string holes and ferruls? I was thinkin all it would require is drilling 6 holes with a drill press then installing the ferruls. How do the ferruls go in are they just tapped in with a little glue? Also since i will be drilling through an existing finnish are there any things i can do to make sure the edges of the holes are clean? The posts for the TOM will screw into the inserts that are there for the bridge/tail peice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShreddyKrueger Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 to make the edges around where the drill bit go in, put some tape over, and then drill. for the point where the bit comes out, put a piece of scrap wood under where the hole will be and that should prevent the wood from having a messy edge.
