360 12 Bridge ?

Post by larsongs »

Do the new 360 12 string Guitars have a Floating Bridge? Do those screws at either end of the Bridge screw into the Bridge or are they floating?

Thanks,

Glenn

What I have read is that it will take you at least a case of beer (or two) to get the restringing done right. Do a search, there are several threads on how to restring a 12er.

I like to restring one string at a time rather than remove all the strings at once before proceeding. This keeps the whole tailpiece/bridge configuration in place and keeps even tension on the neck, too. :idea: Of course, this method can impair a good cleaning effort if that is your habit when changing strings.

What...? You mean you're meant to clean guitars? :oops:

Yeah, like this, Evan!


if you left the strings on the guitar, though, they will probably rust so it is best to remove all of them first. :lol: :mrgreen:

I have had two 12 string Ricks in the past; I have to say (really, truly) I sold them before I had to change their strings. :shock: :lol:

My 660/12 is still wearing the strings it came with in 2007 but I only play 12-string every now and then...
