Location: Phoenix AZ | I don't know why this keeps coming up, the instructions are CRYSTAL CLEAR (and Greg, as a dealer you should know better). The string tubes are to be removed AFTER threading the string through the bridge. NOT left on permanently. If you leave them in place they do nothing other than deaden the sound. Dave |
