Hi Lenador,
yes i also foundthe russian site but little else using the woods - bit crazywith the 12 holes in the bridge im still not sure how too tie em.
thank you for your help, happy playing
The 12 hole tie block thing has taken over the Spanish guitar world by storm with as much popularity and influence as young women's bald beaver trend. I must admit I am more old fashioned when it comes to my Spanish guitars however.

Look on internet:lots of pics etc. You do not have to use all 12, the bridge also works with 6. When I worked in a taller, I invented a tool to convert a 6 bridge to a 12. It is a good way to increase or recover the angle at the bridge.

My guitar has a 12 hole bridge and I am not a fan of it. Just an extra hole to have to put the string through. Its not any more secure I had a high E string come loose and put a nice ding in the top.

I love me some young bald beaver… ! As for the 12 holes, just make sure you burn the ends of the treble strings so you get no slippage hahahaha… bald beaver

There´s no law saying that you have to use the 12 holes if you prefer using only 6. Look at the 12 holes as an option. Just as the 200 miles an hour that you can do in a Ferrari is an option. You dont have to drive that fast all the time.
