Members Stackabones Posted November 22, 2007 Members Share Posted November 22, 2007 So, whaddya know? It seems like a good idea from what I've read. I'd guess this is something I could modify (through my git tech) on my git? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members riffmeister Posted November 23, 2007 Members Share Posted November 23, 2007 The 18 holers are even cooler! (no string shows on the top of the tie block) I had a Greg Byers CG with the 12 holer, very easy to re-string. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd guess this is something I could modify (through my git tech) on my git? What have you read? I'd love to know the rationale for this. My first classical - that crappy Cort I sold back in July - had an extra set of holes and I couldn't figure out why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also allows for a more predicatable and consistent string angle from string to string. 12-hole tie block giving a greater angle upto the saddle and also eliminating the need for twisting and knotting the string all over the block.

So ... is this--the 12er or the 18er--something my git tech can do for my existing bridge? Is it worth it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members riffmeister Posted November 23, 2007 Members Share Posted November 23, 2007 ^^^ That's the 18 holer. If you start drilling holes, make sure there's still enough wood left to hold the string tension! . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members denvertrakker Posted November 23, 2007 Members Share Posted November 23, 2007 Very interesting - but I don't think I'll subject my forty-year-old Yamaha to any drilling. Those Weigerts are gorgeous, BTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
