thanks for this video. took a while to find you as i didnt know what those parts were called. great video tyvm. as below is there a difference between the slotted and not slotted wells?
Great vid, I just bought Faber bridge and tailpiece, came with new bushings the only problem I see is the new bushings are solid, no way to remove if needed, any suggestions?
Hi, i got a chibson (chinese Gibson) and i'm going to upgrade It. The Gibson stop tail seems too much big for the hole in the guitar. Is It possibile o i Need only hammer and patience??
For some reason mine have slipped out due to string tension I guess. So I'm going to get the bushings out and re-install. Would some wood glue be a good or bad idea to ensure that they don't slip out again?
My tech installed my stop tail, and did a piss poor job with the posts. Neither post is at a 90 degree angle to the body, and neither post is at the same angle to each other. And the worst part is the posts are both angled toward the head. Which makes the stop tail cam forward, slightly lowered the slots the strings sit in, (stop tail is a combo stop tail and bridge), and so some of the strings don't sit as deep in the grooves of the bridge as they should. So, you get the sitar tone, or a dull fuzz. I'd like to know what's the best way to fill those post holes, how long should the fill be in them before making two new ones..using the proper tool to drill the holes...a drill press, and not doing by hand, which is pretty obvious the way the tech did it. I spotted this when he was done, (he put in my tuners and my pots) and mentioned it. He mumbled something about his ex wife committing suicide the week before and uh.. The sitar buzz didn't kick in immediately...but now it's there. It almost makes me want to file a groove where the string wraps around to lower it before it hits the v coming back to the head, just to get the string to sit lower. I've tried putting half washers on the posts to get them to tilt back a bit, but no go...
This is the video I've been scouring the internet for lately. THANK YOU

Thanks for sharing your knowledge! I searched your website for the removal kit but can’t seem to locate it. Could you please share a link? Thanks!
Looked at web site can’t find well removal tool set help please
Have you ever come across inserts that were glued into the body? if so, how did you remove them?
Thanks for sharing.
I don't see this sold on your website any more. (Only the vibrato kit) Where can I get the kit?

Question, is there a different between the slotted and unslotted? What are the pros and cons for it?
