I've done this already on a few guitars and it rocks! The issue of having some string behind the nut to the lock as someone commented below is no big deal because there is little string to do that plus the stupid angle for the D and G strings are no longer an issue since the lock straightens out the angle from the nut. I personally have not had any issue with that plus I have a graphite nut and graphite saddles. And I have this on a 70's les paul standard so screw the expense of the guitar - it 'aint no stupid museum piece anyway. I play because it was meant to be played. I do have locking tuners too so mine is way easier to change strings. And I cut a piece of the truss rod cover to fit and just secure it with the screw at the top and it works just fine. Great video bro and thanks for sharing this to others that are sick of the gibson tuning issue due to the angle coming out of the nut for the D and G strings and the damn short scale deal of 24.75. Rock on!
Really appreciate your videos. Have an old Gibson explorer that I'm restoring. Followed you by installing the fine tuning tailpiece,the same string lock and also used a roller bridge. It's a fantastic set up and I thank you for your regular guy approach to this stuff sometimes people can be to technical and It can make you feel stupid. Great job, keep up the good work and thanks
Hey Man….. finally took the leap of faith and added this to my SG…. Thanks for the tutorial….was spot on and am excited to play mine live now and give it the ultimate test… So far it’s been a revaluation…Thanks again dude…!!
You were curious in the video how others view your tips and advice, it was excellent, but you also reminded me of some of the most important principles of playing guitar: experimentation and finding what works for YOU. So i appreciate that. Thanks man. 🤘
It's your guitar, we all have things we like doing to our guitars, to either make the guitar play better or in some cases just look better! I like the chrome look. My black Les Paul has chrome pickups chrome knobs and a chrome switch tip. When polished it looks awesome! I am considering the TP6 tailpiece like you have because I like the idea of easy quick minor tuning adjustments. To me that tailpiece seems like a no brainer. I like your video's, love your playing, rock on!
Not for nothing, but that drill is double insulated or Class II, which means it doesn't need a ground on the plug. Actually, if you look at various appliances around your house you'll notice that many of them only have the 2 prong plug instead of the 3 prong plug. In a nutshell, it just means that they were made with extra insulating material to completely isolate the electrical components inside. It's totally fine and completely safe.
You just did the exact thing I was going to do, and on the same type of guitar. Thanks for saving me the fuckery of having to experiment
I like your personality bro. You just got a new sub. Keep rocking lml
Wow, I'm now thinking about putting one on my ESP E-ll. I play in Drop B, strung with 56's, haha.
Needed this video like yesterday.
Nice job-it's always good to experiment...
BASS player here, I see those people with thousand of dollars worth of tools, and WE cannot always afford those tools, so DIY is the solution, that's one of the many reasons I subscribed to your channel!!!!
I also have a 2014 SGJ. I put chrome covers on lace passive pickups, added a pickgaurd, roller bridge, the string butler. And I love it. Gonna put a new graphite nut it at some point.
I totally understand the pursuit of Gibson tuning stability. I have a les Paul with a bigsby and had to order a guitar nut buster and some rolling saddles to help.
Keep it up man
Yo, the Floyd Rose FRX behind the nut lock has a cover for the truss rod built in🤘🏻
just what I was looking for, thanks. I wonder if the locker also works well with lots of smaller strings bending.
i got Nutbuster for about 60% of the price of kahler system and oh my god it's solid as stone
🤘 very nice. Thank you!
I have a couple of questions about the TP-6 Tailpiece. When you have the tuners set in the neutral position how much range does it have in pitch, ? If you set it up with the tuner in it's furthest position how far can you raise the pitch more than a whole step?
