    @shovington67 Před 4 lety +3

    That is the best and most accurate representation of the mechanical nuances of a tune-o-matic Nashville styled bridge. The close ups and time spent discussing the bridge and tail piece, as well as some of the alternate choices, is very thorough and leads well into the setup and intonation of this system. Fantastic.

      Do you know is there anything you can do to sort the rattling buzzing retainer wire on the tunomatics.looks like a g string sort of size,seems a bit wasteful to chuck them due to that.or is swapping to using springs an option.

    • @DevilAndSons
      @DevilAndSons  Před 3 lety

      Sorry, for some reason I only just saw this comment. They are quite important to hold the screw in pace but if they are rattling I think they aren't engaged with the screw thread correctly. They may need a bit of bending. Also, if they aren't actually doing anything then maybe they could just come off?

    thanks for this! I just bought an SG and spent last night bummed out that the strings were dead and buzzing on the frets, once I really got into playing it. I watched this, learned the anatomy and mechanisms, then I put new strings on and made some pretty dramatic adjustments and it is "fixed". I was almost going to take it back, but it was just way off/ strings needed to be raised.

    Spot on explanation. The whole better resonance/sustain from a fully screwed down tail piece is something I have yet to see any proof of so I'm still doing a medium tension with thru-hole stringing. It may be another "tone-woods" debate that never gets anywhere.

      I'm not surprised at all. I own a repair and set up shop and I get quite a few, pretty decent players sometimes, a day for simple string changes!

    Hi . I've been playing Les Paul Guitars for about 40 years , which is about how long I've been playing Guitar . I've learned a lot about Guitar Repair , such as Neck Adjustment , Pickup Installation , Setting Intonation , etc . But some of the details that you shared in this Video I never knew and I never thought about . I knew that the Saddle Nut Radius needs to match the Fretboard Radius , but I guess I've always had my Bridge in backwards . That explains why I always have a problem with my Intonation .
    Thank you so much for making this Video . I hope you're doing well and staying safe . 😃

    I've had a project guitar for a couple of years now that I've always wanted to work on, but never quite had the courage to get into because I was afraid of making an irreversable mistake. It adds up that most videos on guitar setup aren't that great. Your videos on the other hand are perfect. That drawing of the saddle direction was so so good!
    I are you planning on making videos about filing both nut and saddle slots? I recently bought an ABM ToM bridge and the saddles are not filed yet. I'd love to see an explanation from you on that as well.
    Keep going with this, your channel is great!

      Thanks so much for your kind words. I hope you do get around to your project guitar soon, it can be so rewarding (even making mistakes, learning from them, then correcting them). Saddles and nuts will be on my list of videos (which keeps growing) but I'm also trying to build a new website and make a while lot of new guitars before the end of the year so the videos may have to wait a bit, but stay tuned... one day those ones will happen.
