restringing tips and setup ideas

[r_chino18]

wow i've learned so much!  it's amazing to learn that simple restringing is such a subtle art. just got to playing again after a few years and i previously used double locking guitars exclusively but now strat and and lps na.

for a fender strat that na set yung bridge na hindi floating. do i still need to use lubricants or di naman. as for winding the strings may effect ba pag more than 3 times nag wrap around sa post? let's say double. ano effect niya?

It depends bro. Assess the nut kung ok yung nut slots at nakaka move back and forth yung strings freely. Meaning, hindi sila nasstuck or nagbbind sa slots.

Kaya nilalagyan ng lubricant, para pag nag bend or trem ay babalik at magsslide yung strings ng maayos sa slots.

Kung maayos naman ang nut, kahit hindi na siguro lagyan ng nut lubricant.

@r_chino18, oo sir 1978, this is the same exact guitar that was owned by royc na nasa 1st page ng Greco Users Thread. Baka ito rin sir yung nakita mo? hehe.

..still reading on various websites about those bridges.

Hula ko lang yung 1978..  pura ganyan kasi mga bridge nung mga early to late 70s na Greco..

Eto pagkakaintindi ko sa iba't-ibang bridges..

Tune-o-matic (notice mo yung bushing at mounting screws ng bridge)


ABR-1 (eto yung mga nasa lumang LP na bridge na mas sexy.. yung screw nito ay naka mount directly sa kahoy)


Nashville (halos same sa ABR-1 pero mas malapad)

If it needs lubricating, then do so. You'll go out of tune if the strings don't move freely. Minsan nagssnap pa. I've experienced that snapping/popping sound dati sa may nut.

Yes may effect kapag masyado maraming wraps around the post. Double yung pag coil? Baka dumulas lang yung strings at mawala ka sa tono lagi.
