Seriously beautiful work. Much appreciate the video.

That is gorgeous. Great work

Steve, your videos are ultimately instructional and entertaining. Thanks for you efforts. 😎👍

Nice Steve, I love Schaller hardware. Again you've taken the guess work out of another somewhat complicated process and we thank you for it. ✌️

I always love it when you have a new videos, thanks Steve

Thanks. I prefer not to do videos with topics that have been beat to death. But that is hard to keep doing. This is a cool bridge that I was once intimidated to install because of how perfect the alignment needs to be. Not anymore.

As always, excellent detail and explanation of the why and the how. Thanks for another very informative video.

Thanks Mike. The down side is I have trouble shutting the brain down and relaxing. I'm sure it is taking time off my life...let's hope it is all off the back end of life.

Lord knows we love the OBAPs (off body alignment pins) they make life so much easier because you never get the templates off the center line... no mate how many times you swap the templates. oh yeah, and that is one swanky looking bridge too.

Thanks Tom. I appreciate your support.

Thanks for a great video 🙂 You could make life a little easier for yourself by adjusting the size of the template to include the guide bushing 🙂

We have a winner, yes it is I, the general from OCHS. I have to give Elf a call to get your # I am proud of you, great work ! Now how about some XTC !

Killer vid Steve...I've only played a Hannes bridge equipped guitar once, but it was enough that I knew if/when I have you make me another guitar, I would like that bridge so I'm glad to see you offer them now! That's looking like it's gonna be a super "Super Strat". So many "super strats" have tremolo bridges and I think I'd more prefer a hard tail, so this one is looking pretty good so far!

Can you talk about how you ground this bridge? I am doing an installation and have everything mostly fitting, I've drilled a hole from the string base plate on the rear into the cavity - is it enough to simply "squish" a grounding wire under the base plate? Do I need to remove the finish where the grounding wire is? Any guidance would be useful!

Have you ever thought of adding a Evertune bridge?

Can the strings be spaced wider with this bridge ?

the black hardware is going to look sharp when that thing is finished up!!!

I'd love to see it with gold hardware (though on the Hannes the saddles are still black, mind).

Interesting. I know a Sam Lee from back in the day. And that Sam would remember that I loved that album. Same Sam?

When that bridge first came out I thought it was beautiful and unique and I was ready to put it in…and then I found out about the lil pieces you can loose simply when changing strings so I never did it. Then I saw a lot of people routing out a step down on the bodies just to make things align with the fretboard. It seems like complete overkill to hard tail bridge simplicity. I could only see this be worth it on a balls out high end rare wood build and mainly just for esthetics. Since you have one, is it worth it?

This is actually my first guitar I am installing this bridge...so I'm not the one to ask about is it worth it. I will let you know my thoughts when done. I will tell you that the fit and finish to amazing...I like that the saddles are super friction reducing (made by graphtech), I like the fact that the front and back pieces are sandwiched around the body...very solid. I also like how smooth the surface is for hand resting comfort. It is a premium product for sure. To me...it is worth a try. And if I was going to try it...I wanted to make sure that the front and back parts would be dead perfectly aligned...hence the template system.

@@maximumguitarworks it looks great and I bet it feels great and with your templates it’s the easiest way to go. At the end of the video when you show it off mounted, I wonder if you’re going to have to inlay it in the body to match the neck for height/action like a lot of others seem to…

It is not pronounced Hans, but Hannes. "Hann Ness" but without a pause as one word. Schönen Gruß auch Deutschland, netter Kanal 😎👍
