I also built a Brick House , I gave it to my brother in law for his birthday! I have seen a few Brick House Builds. It is very cool of you to make these video's.
Im going to do a lap steel plank guitar. Will this work the same? And will the tension of the strings pull on the hinge to the point that the screws will damage the wood if its softwood, causing the hinge/bridge to be out of sorts?
I saw a vid on another channel about ensuring that the string hight was exactly right and position of neck hight the guy suggested using the strat type bridges for up and down movement etc it all sounds really complicated thats the only bit I dont understand neck hight bridge position etc
I was curious recently about why there were few truly adjustable bridges on acoustic guitars. Turns out that the ingenious Tele or even better Strat bridges aren’t designed to transmit vibrations to the soundboard. On a solid body electric with magnetic pickups, it’s not really necessary. But on an acoustic it’s everything. So if you have a single coil or humbucker on your CBG and always plan to plug it in, a Strat bridge that is fully adjustable might be perfect. But if you want full acoustic sound, I think a floating bridge would be better.
Not to be critical, but that is a tailpiece. Not a bridge. The bridge on a CBG is usually separate from the tailpiece. On many guitars the bridge serves two purposes, one to connect the strings and for string height and intonation. That is what I was expecting from your hinge bridge.
Trying to find info on scale length and fret measurement. All important to construction of neck, bridge placement, mounting neck to body. Have you done videos on scale length? Thanks! Good videos!
need to play like you... and still cannot play anything ... .aaaaarrgghhhh i can only play "barre' " or power chords ... the one that can let you play keeping all the string down with one finger at the time and moving up and down the fretboard .. like smoke on the water or wild thing songs .. too low skill but.. i can only play that ....aaararaghh maybe i have to try the just intonation fretboard
Very cool, and helpful!!!! Thanks for sharing your ideas and incredible builds!!!!

You build 'em the way I like 'em! Great stuff. Love the reverb! Nice playing, btw...

Hey! If you add a whammy bar will the hinge bridge act as a floating bridge? So you can create a tremolo effect cuz you can push it up and down?
But how do you put those strings on the hinge? the whatever at the end is much to small for those holes
Michael Williams like threading a needle
How high are the strings from the actual box??
