uhhhhh…probably not the kind of bong you guys are thinking of…

i'm talking about the acoustic PURITY of the sound of each individual string...and the SUSTAIN....
the point of contact....the shit that can make a lifer guitar player slowly descend into the pit of madness when it ain't right....

Special thanks to Nick from Glaser Instruments for doing an amazing job refretting this old dog…nice work my man.

Homeskoolin’ Gear Talk, “The Stud Finder”

Chapters
00:00 - Altered reproduction bridge for intonation


Notes
The video title may be a bit misleading…hopefully you’re not too disappointed to find out this video is actually about a guitar bridge……but not just any bridge….the MUSIC CITY STUD FINDER!!!

https://musiccitybridge.com

A replacement bridge designed by Joe Glaser, Nick Drushel, and yours truly that corrects ALL of the many inherent problems that plagued the 1954-1960 Gibson Les Paul Junior models.

Built and designed after decades of total frustration unsuccessfully trying every other replacement bridge on the market…

Homeskoolers…i implore you, if you ever trusted Uncle Larry on ONE THING in this life, let it be this.

Way more than any teaching i have ever done, or any music that i ever made, i feel like THIS invention is my greatest contribution to mankind…and i sleep a little better at night knowing that because of this bridge, i can actually say i left the world in better condition than i originally found it in….haaaaahaaaaa

Thanks for watching the channel folks!
