When I first got the guitar, (it was 800.00 used of course) for an SG, it felt much chunkier, heavier, very solid, and it had this timbre in the heel when I'd tap it. I should look for another guitar, even a clone of a melody maker or something like that. I don't want to screw up this exceptional SG. I'm paying for a new tempurpedic bed and can use the dough.
WRAPAROUND BRIDGE MODS
I then dress in a Thunderbird costume and dance first clockwise and then counter clockwise around the structure chanting " Cipollina, Cipollina!" I find that this and perhaps the 47 years of practice make all my guitars play with great tonal character and sustain.Īs a tech, I thank you guys for all the superstition work, but it's all bunk.ĥ0 buck craigslist special made of hardened plastic foam.īut by all means, contact me when you need those mods done. so the molecules of the wood align perpendicularly to the grain and the grain turns in toward the pickup cavities, assuring the maximum sustain. I then store the guitars in an acrylic pyramid, inside a crystal geodesic dome. I fill all cavities with ancient Kauri wood, harvested from under the peat bogs of New Zealand, to get the hardest workable wood for reinforcement of all tonal recirculation points, including bridge posts. Using only platinum plated gold wire, I rewind pickups to exact 1959 standards and pot them with Sudanese bees' wax, from the toughest strain of African bees known to man. I replace all my hardware, including screws, with titanium alloy infused with molybdenum and anchor them with sea slug sputum. Would something like the Gotoh 510 wraparound fit on an SG with that pickguard? Has anyone ever put one of these bridges on an SG Standard with the batwing pick-guard? Would it even work? It might seem like splitting hairs replacing this exceptional Faber, but I'm wondering why these bridges make the strings respond and feel this way - I really like it. For some reason, they have a whack of sustain, the strings get that elliptical effect really easily, and I also notice that the string travel, or "springiness" in the strings is greatly exaggerated in a good way, and the twang or piano like quality in the strings is so really pronounced. I tried a few other of the PRS guitars with that same type of bridge, and now I recall in the past playing other guitars with this kind of bridge - like the Malcolm Young Gretsch signature, which has a Leo Quan Badass bridge. But the bridge looked like a Gotoh 510 Wraparound bridge, this one:
WRAPAROUND BRIDGE SERIES
Recently, I played a PRS Korean model, I think it was an SE series - maybe the Tremonti? I can't remember exactly.
I love the Faber Tone Lock Bridge, it's exceptional, and it really increased the sustain, feel of the guitar, speed of how the guitar resonates, clarity, dynamics, harmonics, all the good stuff. I've done some heavy modifications to it, that in my opinion, and the opinions of friends has made it considerably better to play.īlocked the pickup cavity with rock maple, and had the pickup cavities re-routed I've got a 2006 SG Standard that I absolutely love.
