Blind Gee 026 compensated bridge

I've been meaning to try this idea for an easy compensated bridge for a while. So finally got around to it and it works great.

Might have to "borrow" this idea ;). Nice work.

Glenn,

Thansk for the detailed how-to. I need to try this.

Great idea. Bent nail would work too...

Oily, I flat one side of the bolt, cut into 4 pieces, tune up and get the 12th fret in tune, glue 'em down. I usually forget to glue down non-compensated bridges, but it would be a total pain to have 4 little bits rolling across the floor on a string change :)

I like this! Definitely hafta try it.

Glenn,

 

Neat, easy idea! I like. So, how do you set the compensation - just roll 'em 'til the intonation is correct for each string? Then mark and glue 'em down? Or are they "free flaoting"
