Looks like it might work to help improve the break angle if your bridge saddle is low. But then again, do thay rattle on the sound board?



Doitsujin -> RE: Bridge tie beads (Jan. 1 2008 6:02:06)

I dont think that they rattle. But the idea could work. I had a guitar with 12hole system. And there was a big difference between playing it using the extraholes or normal. So I think its a nice invention but looks a bit too much gay IMO.



nhills -> RE: Bridge tie beads (Jan. 1 2008 6:58:16)

Seems like over-kill.
Tie a knot in the end of the string and thread through the hole - does the same thing.
It's still not the same as the 12-hole variety because the string is not really tied to the bridge.

"BridgeBoneBeads add response and brightness of sound to your guitar. Many users have changed string preference from high tension back to medium tension."

How on earth would the end of a string add to the response and brightness?

I think its not the end of the string that add's response and brightness but the angle the string makes over the saddle. Without the loop that pulls the string a little upwards the angle gets sharper.

Or, you could buy strings with ball-ends. They're readily available even in nylon these days... I think LaBella even does a set with black trebles...

Or, you can save money and just take a lighter and burn a ball at the end of the string.

Tom, depending how large the tie block holes are. Most likely the B and high E will slide through the holes.

Once you get that new Carmona Jim, you won't need them! [;)]



HemeolaMan -> RE: Bridge tie beads (Jan. 12 2008 7:05:59)

looks like a cedar top contreras towards the bottom? whoever they are, hangin out with a guitar like that, they must have some class lol.

Hi Jim!

I was wrestling with the same idea a year ago.
Came up with a tieblock behind the tieblock.
but dropped the idea, too much fuzz [:D]

Padre -> RE: Bridge tie beads (Jan. 15 2008 11:29:57)

For one of my guitars I have tied a knot in the strings instead of looping over the tie block. This was done to reduce tension which tying adds, even normal tension strings felt tight on it but are softer without the tie. Don't worry about the break angle, my most awesome flamencos with great bass have very little break angle, and others with steep break angles are disappointing.
