F**king obsessed with this tone. I'm literally going to South Austin Music right now to get them to help me, because I'm not as handy as you. Seriously well done! 🙏
My current hobby is stressing myself out over how to fit together knock-off parts that I bought from China. I think I'm getting the hang of it. I had plans for an offset tele but looks like the poorly routed body and the wrong type of bridge I chose are forcing me to go with a baritone telemaster shaped object.
I had a habit of doing this for a long long time. Some things got completed some didn't. Some things sounded good, some didn't. None have me the amazing effects I had envisioned. So now I have a scrap heap of cheap guitars and cheap parts. I even ruined some nice guitars and nice parts. I burned through so much money. I legit had some kind of addiction. Now I just play my acoustic and don't chase tone.... But I'm already thinking of how I could improve upon what I've seen in this video. I might relapse.
Is it not a problem that the strings break from a straight line? Usually you adjust your saddles per string for intonation. If not, could you just swap something in and out above your existing saddles? I'd love to rig something with a lever that lets you engage the rubber saddle at will (and I'm not afraid of routing)
Super interesting. I wish there was more time spent playing. Id really like to hear single notes on the high e and b. They usually have that extremely chimey thin sound. I feel like this setup could really even that out.
This is such a specific mod that it wouldn't be practical to the average player but I'll be damned if that isn't a sick guitar to keep around if you're a professional musician
Was your tele a top loader? Is that why you needed a bigsby? Im a bit confused on that. Im thinking i might leave a gap in the rubber between the string holes so i can slide the strings through the bottem of the guitar without the need for a bigsby. Supper glue or smth 🤷♂️. Correct me on my ignorance.
I'd wonder if all you'd need with a string through Tele is just a 50's style tray bridge plate. Glue your rubber bridge in the tray in the proper place and then you've got some interchangeability. Want to get rid of the rubber bridge? Just change the plate out.
Tuning stability has gotta be a nightmare with all that friction from the rubber bridge + tremolo. I certainly appreciate the ingenuity though, and it's a very cool sound.
He cut the rubber, I assume he meant he cut it so that it matched the saddles on his previous setup? Honestly there are plenty of very primitive bridges that are just solid bone or wood, so if they can cut bone or wood so that it is intonated I don't see why you couldn't with rubber

Wow interesting
Well congrats on finding it lol
I freakin love that store bro. Great staff, great gear.
That sounds great!!!
Hey. I’m the guy that asks for a tone guide on all of your tik tok videos. Finally, an algorithm has given me my answer!
absolutely YES! *grinning widely*
that muted tele twang.... (!!!)
God, I love it so much. Definitely doing this on a bass
I'm movin' out!
best sounding rubber bridge I’ve heard.
BRO you are the BEST ty for this🙏🙏🙏
Great tone!
The proof is in that awesome sound. Very unique tone to bring into the recipe that is purely Wendlo.
sounds terrible.. I love it
lol
I agree... only with the first part lol XD
so cool!
Your voice 😍

I would tell you to check the intonation on each string but, I don’t think that is what you are going for. 😂 Nice sounds for sure!

Stephan Stills got that tone by rolling the tone control all the way to zero.

your told not to do this in the guitar world but it sounds so sick do what sounds good
What about intonation?

Do you do this to most your guitars?
Tell me what Bigsby is called, I just don’t know English
Which bigsby clone did you get
Im a big fan
Nice billy joel cover lol
lol
Lol. Why cuz his sound quality is bad?
Best tone in the tele game hands down
Hard disagree 😂
I’m moving out by Billy Joel
Rubber band guitar.
Don't compress a tele! The dynamic range is beautiful. Idk about that rubber floor mat you put on there, though.
Just adjust your fuzz pedal to get that sound
Ott that's my last name 😉
Sounds like mud. Rubber mud.
I feel like you would have a resonance loss with a rubber bridge.
lol sounds just like a nylon acoustic guitar with extra steps.
Basically the strings sound dead 😅
What about the intonation? Or the action?
he addresses intonation, action comes from how thicc the rubber is
@@boggeshzahim3713 he def addresses the action but not sure where he talks about intonation..?
@@boylebro1991 He outlined the original intonated saddle positions and then copied them to the rubber so it's kind off crudely "intonated" o.O
Or just get a fuzz pedal. Easier.
Just put your palm and mute it while you play....
Not impressed.
Nope nope nope 👎
Not one bit of craftmanship
What a waste of money and time 😂
