Oscar Schmidt Neck Pickup, 1960s Gibson GA200 Amp, Cab Marshall 1965A 410. I originally added this Video to sell the Guitar - I'm glad to say the guitar is off to a nice home and I hope it brings as much joy to you (RRB) as it has to me. Thanks

  • what do you mean wrap the strings over the top of the stop tail bridge?

  • @johncartelli – To accomplish this technique you route the strings from the Tune-o-matic side of the Stop Bar Tail Piece. This allows the string to wrap around the Stop Bar Tail Piece changing the break angle. This is how the original Les Paul’s (& Les Paul Jr.) were strung prior to the introduction of the Tune-o-matic Bridge - when the Stop Tail was the Bridge. I found a video titled “Tune-o-matic fix” that shows the Strings wrapped over the Stop Bar. Hope this helps!

  • @johncartelli - By the way, Your project Car is Awesome. 

  • My G string (3rd) always goes flat after playing it for about 10 minutes. Any advice?

  • @boxingin if you do a lot of bending of the G string your problem may come from the nut slot grabbing the string and not allowing it to go back to pitch. I solve this (or try to) by using graphite in the nut slots for all of my strings (on all of my Guitars).

  • @boxingin Also for this Guitar, or any with a stop tail bridge, I’ll also wrap my strings over the top of the stop tail bridge. In my opinion this helps with string tension / string feel and makes bends easier. I also grind down any rough spots on the bottom of the stop tail bridge and try to get it down on the body as much as possible to allow for max string vibration transfer. I hope these tips help.
