I've been placing guitar bridges for a long time using different specifics or reasoning as to exactly where I would land the bridge. Always had enough saddle adjustability to successfully intonate the instruments. But I think I like your extended high string saddle to scale length placement better. I agree with your point about intonation and the saddle going away from the headstock too. Thank You Sean for a different perspective or approach on bridge placement

Thanks for the video, especially the part in which you explain how you choose to angle tune--o-matic bridges. I think it should come in useful for my GGBO22 build. But I notice that with the post to post distance of 74mm, with the low e side 3mm behind the high e side, you mark 37mm each side of the centre line. Since the post-to-post is now inclined (think of the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle), it's the diagonal distance that is 74mm. Each post would then be 36.97mm from the centre line. While that's close enough to 37mm to work perfectly fine when actually marking 37mm and drilling the holes for the posts, anyone who chooses to angle a bridge much more drastically would probably want to work out distance to mark.

Always a bit of an enigma placing a bridge. I hate installing Tune-o-matics! I think your Tune-o-matic spacing would be a bit too long, if measured the same distance form the centerline, since it is offset by 3 degrees. I mark the treble side at 37, then use calipers to mark 74 from that point (at whatever angle), for the other post. Essentially, the angle determines where the bass side post goes, not the centerline. Great video though, and thanks for posting!
@NickBrown33

You're right - I think it would be 74.0608mm between the holes (he's using 3mm rather than 3 degrees). I'd imagine you can get away with it because it's such a small difference. Would marking from the treble post mean that the bridge would be ever-so-slightly offset towards the treble side? Either way, I'd imagine the inaccuracy of measurement when working is greater than each of these numbers anyway😀

I'm not quite following, I'm afraid. If you are referring to the scale length, the highest saddle should be able to sit right on the scale length line or slightly behind it. If it cannot, then the guitar will not intonate properly. Cardboard also isn't a good option for shimming or raising anything, as it is too easy to compress.

@mrdeer5585
Жыл бұрын
That helped me a lot. It really did. Maybe I am a bit nerdy but I would like to mention one thing though (without any malicious intent) . The main reason for intonation is to compensate for the thickness of the string (not for the bending affect). In theory the total scale length is measured from the end of the nut to the tip of the saddle but in reality, any given string won't vibrate right after these pivot points. There will be some dead spot. The thicker the string gauge the larger this dead spot is. So the actually scale length is reduced. Hence the compensation + of course the bending.
@AwenLutherieCustomGuitars
Жыл бұрын
I have heard this one before as well, but I don't believe this is the case. While the displacement of the vibrating string will be lessened as it approaches the fixed point (in this case the bridge, or nut), it isn't until the actual point of fixing that the string no longer vibrates. We can see this if the string slot in the nut is cut incorrectly, or if it has a small burr on the fingerboard edge of the slot. The string will buzz no longer how thick it is. This would not happen if the string was not vibrating right up until the point of fixing, as that "dead spot" would cushion this buzz.
@mrdeer5585
Жыл бұрын
@@AwenLutherieCustomGuitars a good point to think about, and I will. In the meantime, why does classical guitar need less compensation than steel string? Sometime they just place the saddle straight. ( It's because their strings are closer to each other in thickness.) By the way, I am not trying to say that I am an expert in physics but after watching some experiment I was convinced.

The maths would say that you want the lowest angle from the tailpiece to the bridge as possible, without hitting the bridge itself. You could draw this all out and measure it like that. Alternatively, measure another guitar with that setup and copy roughly that. Or eyeball it and realise that it doesn't matter all that much. I put it about 45mm from the scale line, but really it doesn't matter all that much so long as you don't put it way too far back and it looks about right.

I have had to look into this, but the short answer is that intonation is also accounting for something called "inharmonicity", which is compensated for differently than the bending effect of fretting the instrument. Inharmonicity is basically the fact that harmonics don't line up properly or perfectly across every pitch, and thicker strings need more compensation towards the nut (opposite to tension adjustment, which goes the other way). The D and G strings just happen to line up weirdly like that, effectively. So super short answer - They just don't. Very disappointing.

I am in the middle of reviving an old Hohner Strat for a friend and was concerned where to place this new bridge a replacement was not available. All the hardware is being bought to make it fit the body and I am hoping it turns out ok. I will ingest your other work over the week and I am sure I will learn a lot faster. Well done.

nice explanation, in case you use lighter strings than usual, you have to consider a litlle extra room of adjustment in the first saddle

Very true. This is the reason I always say bring the string forward as far as is comfortable. It should always leave a small amount of adjustment forward just in case. In reality, even 1 gauge strings will not adjust further forward than the scale length.
