I've done 6 more holes on the 1/4 guitar of my son to lower the action and I didn't really know how to tie the strings on that modified bridge. I've now got the best method ! Thanks a lot.

Thanks for this video. After more than 40 years guitars with a 6-hole bridge, I got a guitar this summer with a 12-hole bridge, and was lost. This video really helped. Also, that trick of making the loop and pulling the knot through is terrific -- the sort of thing you learn and realize how many hours could have been saved over the years.

@chrisfreitag82839 жыл бұрын
This is an excellent demonstration and a solid method. Just keep in mind that if your guitar is like mine and has the lower hole to the right (as you look towards the neck) then you need to reverse the direction of the loop, etc. But it works just as well.

Excellent video. I watched a lot of them. Even though I don't have a 12 hole bridge, this is an excellent tutorial, because a very confusing step is tying the string to the tuning machines, which almost no one explains clearly. Thank you Erez!

Thanks for the very clear demonstration and explanation. I'd like to ask you which electric drill winder bit you have, it looks more protective of the instrument than the one's I've seen. I'd feel more secure using something like that as opposed to the hard plastic variety that could potentially scratch the finish.

Hi Dan, I made this winder out of a piece of wood and glued a hex driver to it. Works pretty well, and you can do the same;)

Also, the direction for winding strings on the headside, I had the 4th and 3rd strings touching the center wood part if I followed your direction. IDK how, maybe your guitar and mine are differently structures.

Can I use this kind of bridge with steel wires? 🤔 the slot for the saddle is huge on my guitar I got used! I can fit 2 saddles in it!! Haven't seen a slot that big on any other guitars, it looks like it had 2 round things, one on each end of the slot & something between to hold the saddle. I like it cause it doesn't have pins but can't use it without a saddle. Opinions or Help if you can.
@travelthebest26762 жыл бұрын
I can no longer differentiate between the top and bottom holes on my 12 bridge, would it be more common practice to start the string in the hole closest in proximity to the bass side?

@sisopescu Жыл бұрын
Looks straight forward but I did have some issues. I think holding the free end of the string, after it's been pulled through the loop, against the back of the bridge is important to get the the loop twisting the right way. I did, however, have slippage of carbon strings, E and B string, despite roughening the end with sand paper. I suppose the demonstration is with nylon trebles and maybe they grip better? I now take the free end of the E and B string twice through the loop after it's been twisted and so far so good. :)

Looks like hard work. Try this way . String through first hole. Bring the end up and tie a half hitch round the main string (the long bit ). Then feed the end through second hole and bend the end in position. After the half hitch the string cannot escape . Practice with thicker cord on a piece of wood to understand the mechanism. Basic knots --half hitch .
