Locking Tuners & Roller Bridge: Why?

Why replace a bridge and tuners if you don't need to?

You’re batting 1.000 with that guitar-I’m giving Redid a “pass” on their knobs & switch original location which you (Re) did.😊 Look forward to your next video, however I do enjoy all your previous productions. Stay well, Brother.🥁🎸👍

Just wondering, maybe I missed it but why a roller bridge on a non-tremolo guitar?

[@guitarhowtos2148]

Hi Henry! Because I bend strings A LOT! 😊

[@henrybelfiore8488]

I've done locking tuners on my Epi LP. When working on Bridge or pickup height with a PMS (pickup mounting system) you lose the set of strings. Can't get enough slack to remove the tailpiece. As for the roller bridge, I would not do will a hard tail guitar.

It's worth noting the more expensive roller saddles have varying size roller slots and can only be fitted screws facing the pick up .Fortunately ours are uniform so can go either way round

One drop of 3 and 1 oil for your screws would have done the same job.

[@davidpinkowski7748]

why not just remove the tail piece with the strings and put aside?

It's a 4MM not a number 4 allen or hex wrench. Also you might want to spend the feww buck for a straight edge for checking the neck so you don't have to guess at how far to turn the truss rod. You viewers might really mess up if they just guess like that.

[@guitarhowtos2148]

Understood and thank you. Usually I use the low e-string as a straight edge, pressing down on the first fret to the last fret.
