String Mute Assembly?

[Infidelity]

Anyone know how to install the mutes in a Pre-EB Stingray? Do I need to remove the bridge to install it?

Thanks!

nope, I can't remember but I might have had to lossen the tension on the strings at the most, the mutes fit over the bridge then you just have to screw on the thumb screws, pretty simple.

Yes remove the bridge to install the mute plate and thumbscrews.
If you try it with the bridge in place, all you'll be doing is gouging up your finish.

Can a string-mute bridge be retro-fitted to a new, non-muted SR?

If so, where would I get a bridge w/mutes?


Thanks,

You're asking if an old bridge can be fitted to new SR4?

If so...can't be done without major surgery and a paint touchup.

BTW: Good pics Mike!

Oops, yeh I guess removing the bridge is a good idea afterall if you're conserned about your paint job, for some reason it didn't cross my mind when I got my mutes....
