fender stratocaster question bridge?
I have a telecaster fender its a mim one that i REALLY like the sound of
this one is unusual in that the STRINGS dont GO THROUGH the body they are attached on TOP so the body has less holes in it
And for some reason i think this makes it sound better
heres my question
ARE THERE EVER ANY STRATS THAT HAVE THAT KIND OF STRING MOUNTING MEANING WITHOUT THE WAMMY AND NOT THROUGH THE BODY?
IM MEANING not a squire model
Hello! What you are referring to is what is commonly called a “hardtail bridge” Stratocaster, meaning the bridge is attached solid to the guitar body. This has the advantage of better tuning stability, plus a closer coupling of the strings to the body for more resonance and sustain. Fender does not make too many of these guitars, although the Billy Corgan (see http://www.fender.com/products//search.php?partno=0115002805 ) and Robert Cray (see http://www.fender.com/products/search.php?partno=0139100324 ) models are current examples. Even with the hardtail arrangement, the strings still pass through the body, which has always been the strategy for the Fender Stratocaster. Best regards, Dana
