Hi all,
I recently bought a second hand 2006 Thumb 5 BO, and while changing the strings, I noticed some things;
1. The saddles are not screwed in place, they are loose and prone to popping out of place
2. The washer for the G string is gone
3. I can't tell if the saddles need to be replaced or...
Just separating this mod from my introduction thread so it is easier for people to find.
I like to mod my instruments so I decided to look for an alternative to the cast zinc inserts that were on my 3D bridge. I have used ABM guitar bridges in the past and think they are one of the best...
One of my old projects has begun coming to life :). The bridge looks quite stock at first glance:
But no more is:
Of course, it still lacks a few important parts like preamp and a bass (well, there is a bass, but the bridge hasn't been mounted yet).
The saddles are "ABM type".
Now that you've got the neck adjusted, we'll move down to the adjustments that are done on the body of the instrument. We can say that this is all "The Bridge", but it really encompasses three separate adjustments: bridge saddle height, distance between the saddles, and overall bridge height...
