Homeskoolin’ Bonus “Bridge Over Troubled Junior” (Music City Bridge Stud Finder)

Chapters
00:00 - Intro and basic install of new bridge
15:53 - Intonating the new bridge
22:39 - Demonstation of what the old original bridge sounded like for comparison



Notes
Ok guys, this video could conceivably be extremely boring to some "casual viewers", so it comes with a warning.

Unless you are interested in a 23 minute video of what a DRASTIC improvement swapping out the original bridge of an old 50s Les Paul Junior with a new Music City Bridge Stud Finder bridge makes, do NOT watch this.

This video is ONLY intended for the truly hardcore vintage guitar nerds out there…i repeat…DO NOT watch this unless you are a total vintage guitar nerd.

There are 3 segments…
1) intro and basic install of new bridge (
0:00 to 15:52)
2) intonating the new bridge (
15:53 to 22:38)
3) demonstation of what the old original bridge sounded like for comparison (
22:39 to end)

Thanks for watching guys

Homekoolin’ Bonus “Stuff Larry Used To Own”

Chapters
00:00 - Montage of gear


Notes
When you’re bored out of your mind in a hotel room in the middle of nowhere, you have time to do things like this.

I wish you guys could REALLY understand the extent of my lifelong addiction to old guitars, amps, synthesizers, drums, cars….it would be hard for me to explain it.

As you probably know, i have never been one to actually KEEP anything…i have always thought that constantly cycling through cool old stuff was way more fun than ever trying to “build a collection”. To me its always been a quest to LEARN what this stuff can really do, and i always thought that you can only REALLY learn what something can do is to actually own it and use it in the heat of battle.

It all started when i was about 18, in 1987 roughly. I purchased a chopped 65 sg special for 350 bucks and from that point it was ON.

At this point, there is no telling how many thousands of old guitars i have bought and sold….i usually tried to keep at least one photo of whatever it was somewhere in the archives.

This deep dive into my current phone photo stash probably represents less than 1 percent of the lunacy of my old guitar/amp/car addiction….but i thought it might be fun to stroll down memory lane for a minute on a sunday.

Yes, there are a few i should have never got rid of….but live and learn i say!

Hope you enjoy kids
