Members chikinpox Posted March 27, 2006 Members Share Posted March 27, 2006 I don't really see the point of a hardtail roller bridge Maybe to reduce the pressure point of conventional saddles? I don't know if it really would do anything, but considering many people break strings at the saddles perhaps the rational is to ease the tension?

Members mixolydianb6 Posted March 27, 2006 Author Members Share Posted March 27, 2006 The point is in the better sustain an harmonics transfer than tremolo(especially Floyd Rose type with two knives) It is really so. The less mechanic parts in the bridge -- the better timber & other things. But I don't like PRS non adjustable solid brass bridges because I use different gauge strings. Need an intination adjustment. Kahler is very good, but I don't need tremolo on this of my guitars. Besides, those Kahlers are BIG in size. I've been searching through NET but couldn't found anything better than that of Schaller. Kinda optimum... Am I wrong ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mixolydianb6 Posted March 27, 2006 Author Members Share Posted March 27, 2006 The rollers are for adjusting string-tostring spacing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members darchirnoj Posted February 10, 2007 Members Share Posted February 10, 2007 I know this is an old post, but I found it doing a search for the same product. I think the main point of this bridge is that it does not require string-thru body. I asked a luthier about this. He said that it can be a pain to line up the string-thru ferrules especially if he doesn't have the bridge on hand due to alignment issues. I did a search and found the schaller. Not sure I understand the roller bridge part as i do that it does not require a string-thru body. Perhaps someone has more info on this subject.

Members Popoon Posted February 10, 2007 Members Share Posted February 10, 2007 Bass guitars usually have the best bridges,manly. For the electric Guitarist twee has been in fashion for some time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Funderbunk Posted February 10, 2007 Members Share Posted February 10, 2007 My current fave fixed bridge - I know some have an issue with the Speedloader stuff, mainly due to limited string choices, but I'm currently using a spare Speedloader fixed bridge in a project that will eliminate that issue...kind of a hybrid system.

Members meandi Posted February 10, 2007 Members Share Posted February 10, 2007 2 LaXu What exactly of Hipshot did you mean ? this is the hipshot brand bridge i use it's simple in it's design & is of heavy brass for good sound conduction... and loads through the body also for sound conduction i have seen a similar bridge by another manufacturer that offers the option of top load or thru body on the same bridge...however the brand name escapes me at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dg678 Posted November 2, 2013 Members Share Posted November 2, 2013 Less string breakage from aggressive bends. Regular Tune-0-matics have a pretty sharp edge. I switched to schaller roller bridges on all my Deans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
