About the Bridge of a Left Handed Guitar

Video Transcript

"In this segment we're going to talk about the bridge which is simply this piece here. What its function is to lock in the string at the bottom so that you can tie off to the top so you can play your guitar and also tune it and do other things. This one is just a standard what they call a fixed bridge. It doesn't have like a hole in it for a tremolo bar, which is another type of bridge. This one, on the back, you can actually feed the strings through the body, which guitars feature and some don't. Feed it through, it comes through here, and then you simply tie it off there. Bridges come in several different colors. They come in black, gold also this one just being silver. And there's other types of bridges such as free floating tremolos. Which is a type of bridge that if you have a tremolo bar you can just do all kinds of weird vibrato effects with it. And sometimes they'll have on the back of the guitar, springs in order to keep it in tune, and so forth. With a fixed bridge there's no real effects you can do with it. It just simply holds the strings in place. And also they do have a better tuning stability."
