Tail Bridge

What does this guitar bridge do?

Here’s a picture

That’s called a “hard tail” stratocaster bridge; the strings don’t run through the body of the guitar, as in normal strats. Rather, they simply string from the end of that bridge.

More than likely, you have a regular stratocaster with “string-through” style bridge.

The “up and down” motion of the individual saddles adjusts the “action” of the guitar.

The “adjustment screws” are for adjusting the intonation of each individual string. The strings rest on the saddles, which should be adjusted individually to ensure the guitar is “in tune with itself”.

I’d suggest taking the guitar into an autorized service center for a guitar setup.

Ben Webster concert at Newport Jazz Festival on 05 Jul 64 $5.98 There are few sounds as mellow and immediately identifiable as tenor saxophonist Ben Webster blowing his smoky tones on an alluring ballad. The remarkably expressive saxophonist, one of the “big three” of tenor saxophonists alongside Coleman Hawkins and Lester Young, got his start on the instrument in the Young Family Band (which included tenor saxophonist Lester Young) on the vaudeville and carnival circuit. He later made his recording debut with singer Blanche Calloway and Her Joy Boys (Cab’s older sister and one of the first women to lead an all-male orchestra) and in 1932 joined Bennie Moten’s Orchestra, which also included a young William Basie on piano in his pre-Count days. Webster subsequently had brief stints with big bands led by Andy Kirk, Billie Holiday, Fletcher Henderson, Benny Carter, Cab Calloway and Teddy Wilson before joining the Duke Ellington Orchestra in 1935. For eight years, Webster remained a fixture in Ellington’s classic orchestra (which included bassist Jimmy Blanton, trumpeter Cootie Williams, cornetists Rex Stewart and Ray Nance, trombonists Tricky Sam Nanton and Lawrence Brown, clarinetist Barney Bigard, baritone saxophonist Harry Carney and alto saxophonist Johnny Hodges, whom Webster cites as a major influence). During his tenure with Duke’s tightly-knit band, which was often referred to as the Blanton-Webster band to distinguish it from other aggregations throughout Ellington’s long and illustrious career, Webster was a potent presence in the band, contributing memorable solos to such Ellington staples as “Cotton Tail,” “All Too Soon,” “I Got it Bad,” “Don’t Get Around Much Anymore” and, most famously, the sublime Billy Strayhorn ballad “Chelsea Bridge.” After leaving Ellington’s orchestra in 1943, Webster began working as a featured soloist in a number of small group settings on New York’s fabled 52nd Street, a strip of nightclubs that served as jazz central in the Big Apple through the ’40s and into the ’50s.

Breedlove American Series OO Mandolin Sunburst $1699 With a design that harkens back to the golden era of mandolin building, the American Series mandolins combine the best traditional construction elements with Breedlove’s cutting-edge aesthetics and attention to detail. The American Series OF mandolin is a teardrop-shaped 8-string. The body design provides a boomy, deep range that punches through a mix with clarity and authority. You won’t believe the sound and power that comes out of such a little instrument. With a single oval sound hole, the sound is loud, and punchy, ideal for rhythmic strumming or out-front lead solos. The solid Sitka spruce top and flamed maple back and sides further complement the bold projection, so this O-style can be heard no matter what arrangement you find yourself in. Whether practicing at home, jamming with your buddies, or blazing some Bill Monroe licks at center stage, this 8-string sounds killer. The 13.94 scale, 1-3/16 nut width, and 16 radius provides comfort and accessibility when running up and down the instrument’s 23 frets. The bolt-on maple neck, and ebony bridge and fretboard provide amazing clarity and sustain, while also making the instrument incredibly sturdy. Dressed in a smooth satin finish, with Gotoh M120-N tuners, and chrome hardware, this mandolin is truly a bluegrass looker, and will impress everybody within range of its killer tone and breathtaking looks. The Breedlove OF mandolin not only sounds great, but is also very easy to play. Details like a radiused fingerboard and generous string spacing make it a very comfortable instrument. Design features such as low-profile neck and tail blocks and a floating bridge extension ensure maximum resonance and tonal response.
