    @stevedent4809 Місяць тому

    So just to clarify, if the bridge is at the position level with the body it wont ever work correctly? It has to be angled back and sat against the bodywork to function as it should?

    • @erikguitardesigner
      @erikguitardesigner Місяць тому

      The bridge needs to be locked so it can't be pulled back. The best solution is to get a locking system like Tremol-No, but if you don't mind it being angled back i suppose that could work too. That might have negative side effects like your intonation being incorrect and cause damage to your top if you don't have a fully routed out cavity for the bridge, though.

    • @stevedent4809
      @stevedent4809 Місяць тому

      @erikguitardesigner thanks for the response mate, yes I realised the hard way that when the bridge is angled back so that it 'locks' you can't use the d tuna in E position because it gets stuck against the body and you can't intonate. Currently I've managed to make it 'float' in its level position with the tuna working almost as intended but when you engage and disengage the tuna it goes sharp, it looks like a tremel-no or other is needed. Will the bridge still dive with a locking device fitted? Will sub now as well seeing as you took the time to reply good sir! 🫡

    • @erikguitardesigner
      @erikguitardesigner Місяць тому

      @@stevedent4809 The Tremel-no is really cool because it has three functions that are easy to change. You can let the bridge function as normal, completely lock it like a hardtail or put it in dive-only mode. Easy install instructions as well. Thank you so much for the sub!!!

    • @stevedent4809
      @stevedent4809 Місяць тому

      @erikguitardesigner 1 last question just so I understand it fully, the locking system when set up in normal mode will allow the d tuna to work correctly? Or it must be in dive only? Thank you sir for the easy to follow video!

      If you're playing 4-6 hours per day I would guess the strings wouldn't last longer than 1 week. I really like the feel of new strings, if old strings don't bother you then maybe 2-3 weeks.
