Another question....I've seen a few builds on here with the acoustic guitar style bridge with pins. Do these work well on CBG's? I've read a fair bit on here about the tension required and wondered if that's a problem for the bridge pin setup. I'm only building 3-strings so I guess the tension is minimal?.....

I agree with some of what you say, yes there are a bunch of guys on this site who talk about building a lot more than they actually build, yes there are a bunch of guys on this site who use these questions to demonstrate their googling skills, as if the asker who somehow found this site does not possess their uncanny skills with a search engine. And yes, they are generally the first couple of responders, like seagulls to an abandoned chip.
But where on earth is 14BuckBass questioning your (or the original posters) literacy ??
BTW the pic below looks great. And sure, you've used pins. But its hardly a typical acoustic guitar use of them now is it?
In fact what you've built is a floating bridge, one that you can easily push back and forth until it is in tune, one which you can easily slide out and sand a millimetre off the feet of if necessary.
some might feel that you are demonstrating your own limited abilities at literacy.
Angry posts beget angry posts.
Chill out.
well,G.B.G,don,t really get where you,re coming from,3 of the guy,s who responded prior to yourself,have adviised,helped me many times,i,ve come to find there comments to mine and others queries,useful at the least,and generally on the money,i assume you accidently loaded the wrong pic of your bridge arrangement
Golf tees eh?.....a way I could include my other passion! That's tempting ;-)
Nice!
My first attempt at a compensated bridge, not my last or even most recent.
Pins are lathe turned bone with ebony dots made from scrap pieces.
When reading posts consider:
Some folks build significantly more CBGs than the amount of posted photos indicate.
Some even build structures in the real world that are required to sustain extreme forces safely.
Some have to negatively comment about others because of the miserable pathetic nature of their own insignificant existence.
So read everything, verify any info given, and decide for yourself what's what.
