What’s your favorite type of bridge? Whatever your answer refers to, whether the parts of a song, a structure connecting a stretch of road between two cliffs, or the dude who played “The Dude,” we’ve got another set of bridges at CME that we think every guitarist needs to know about, if not have installed on a guitar of their own, stat!—Waterslide Rubber Bridges.
Preferred by some of today’s top acts, from Taylor Swift to Aaron Dessner (The National), Waterslide Rubber Bridges for offset guitar models, like the one installed here, are purposefully designed to give any offset a muted guitar tone—the exact opposite of super-saturated sustain! Hear how dark and ethereal these rubber bridges can make a guitar sound with a little reverb on this CME Exclusive Squier Jaguar model tuned to C# with a set of Pyramid Fusion Flatwound (12-gauge) strings!
More on the Rubber Bridge trend in music right now from Guitarworld.com -
Rubber bridges are all the rage. By most accounts, the first rubber bridges began popping up in the early 2000s after Reuben Cox noticed a modified banjo with a wood and metal wedge beneath the strings. The result was a muted but clear sound. It wasn’t long before Cox introduced this concept into his own guitar shop, creating a style of guitar that would eventually be adopted by artists including Bob Dylan, Wilco, and Phoebe Bridgers. The sound reached its commercial zenith on Taylor Swift’s Folklore, which was produced by The National’s Aaron Dessner, and Cox’s instruments have even become the subject of a documentary film, Really Good Rejects.
