Different Types Of Guitar Bridges You Must Know

 

At times your guitar might give some trouble and then comes the time to upgrade and customize your guitar. Some professionals also do it for better sound quality and playing experience. The major issue which most people face is with the name of the guitar parts. These guitar terms can be confusing at times. You need to know the names correctly to replace or repair them. You need to source the online guitar parts as well so there is no challenge.

Have you heard the term “Tune-o-Matic”? It is quite common and this actually describes the bridge system which is like the Gibson style. It will help in adjusting the saddles individually for every string. Now the user can work on the intonation of every string distinctly. So here we will talk about the Guitar Bridges of different types so you can understand the difference and make a choice.

An ABR Bridge:

The vintage setup of the guitar can be met by the Faber guitar ABR style bridge and if your guitars are ABR-1 equipped then you will be satisfied with this upgrade.

Wraparound bridge:

Wraparound Bridges are not like the Tune o Matic style bridge and it is like a tailpiece and bridge in one single unit. If you have a vintage guitar then you will have the wraparound bridge and it will look like a tailpiece. That kind of wraparound will evolve in something known as compensated or the lightning bolt design for giving better intonation. Faber gives Tone-Bar or TPWC wraparounds lightweight aluminum wraparounds bridges. The TPW wrap looks like the50’s style original wraparound and this is used by many players for better intonation and it also preserves the original vintage taste.

Skateboarding and Longboarding on and Around Campus

Even though alternative transportation is rampant on Whitman’s small campus, only a handful of Whitman students skateboard. Whether longboarding to class or skating for leisure, those who own boards on campus represent a small fraction of the student body. Whitman’s campus isn’t exactly ideal for the sport. For skateboarding you mainly just need an open, rarely frequented area with various obstacles and terrain. If there is a skatepark nearby, obviously that is a large draw, but for Whitman students, the nearest park is in College Place. On campus, skaters use the small area outside of Olin Hall or can be seen behind North Hall practicing tricks.
