Good-day rct, just got my SG Gibson back from guitar shop . As I said before it was in for a setup . Came back setup A1. The stop-tail piece is sitting right down on the body, not sticking up at all . The bridge before setup was tilted way to much to one side , now it tilts just a little bit , no way as bad as before. It looks set-up as it should be , nice and even, sounds and plays superb. I'll be taking it to this Luthier from now on . He knows his stuff . I won't be touching nothing on it, just keep on playing the guitar. Thanks for your comments it all helps.....Cheers rct.

Hi rct, what I said about stop- tail being raised 1inch from body was so it clears back of bridge, I haven't been playing guitar like that. Stop-tail is now about 1/4 inch from body , just wanted to check if it was o.k. to touch bridge. Had a few replies about this topic and seems no worries about bridge. I've seen other guitars in shops and some touch , some don't,.. any way guitar is in for a setup at guitar store, I'll let the pro set it up. Cheers ......

It is true, there are some folks that get a little agitated by the strings touching the back edge of the bridge as they go by. What you see in my posts is a long time of trying to get people to relax and stop thinking about that. All of the great Les Paul sounds people love and try to cop every day were made by Les Pauls that had strings touching the back edge of the bridge. We never cared about it then, anyone my age and experience still doesn't.
If it touches it's fine. If it doesn't, it's fine. Just don't get yourself balled up over what other people are doing and saying when it comes to thinks like this. Good luck with it. The Guitar World is bizarre and full of fun stories and plain old made up stuff! Don't hesitate to message and ask if you don't want to in public, I'll help you out best I can.

Yeah I've seen that top wrap been released on some SGs from the Gibson factory as standard, it is an option to do.....my SG came new from Gibson touching back of bridge , some do some don't.... Guitar playing well so if it ain't broke.......keepa playing.....

There are some that say, "they shouldn't touch the back"
And the other camp that says "doesn't make a difference "
I suspect the original ABR1 bridge would collapse in the middle as they were soft alloy and players thought it might be extra tension on back of the TOM.
If you can hear the difference between touching and not touching your ears are pretty amazing
Cheers

Gooday deeman , if U google Sydney trains gates and scroll around till U find the red gates you 'll get a better idea of the gates down here in Sydney Australia. I went through the gates first with the SG behind me, and it got hammered. Next time SG first or overhead.....SG playing all good....... Cheers.......
