Pinning Down Bridge

[patty_ww]

Anyone know how to properly pin a Gretsch floating bridge down? Or do I need to take it to a professional?

as funny as it sounds... ALOT of ppl just gaffer tape the bridge down haha. ive done it to some of mine.

If you want it to actually look good then def. take it to a pro. What city are you from ?

[Fritz]

just take it to a pro. you really dont want to stuff up a job like that

On mine I just used some double sided scotch tape..... it worked fine. It hasn't moved in 3 years.

i have sort of a love/hate relationship with steves music, i asked to try a green annie once, he reaches for a tenny and i correct him and say "no the green one", the dude goes up and brings it down from up high, i ask to plug it into a certain amp, he tells me no and plugs me into a different one. then as i am playing he just stands and watches me like a hawk. i mean, do he think i was going to try and steal it from a busy store like that? i ended up just playing for like 3 mins and giving it back to him, it felt uncomfortable to play while there is a 50 year old salesman standing next to me watching me play. so more time goes by and i ask a different salesman to let me play a cheaper guitar. as i'm playing (amp volume at about 1.5) the old salesman comes by and tells me to turn it down. so i turned it down to about 1, 3 minutes later he comes back and without asking turns it down to a mere whisper (meanwhile there was a metalhead one row over with his amp cranked up). the guy was being a total dick.

on a good note the store has a pretty good selection and most of the staff know what they are talking about. prices are little high on guitar stuff there compared to most places tho.

Wizard, no i haven't done it yet, but i plan on taking it in the near future back to the Twelfth Fret (place i got it [12fret.com]) and having on of their guys do it.
