Today we are down at the other end of the guitar, the Bridge, and we have the same problem with "string-slack" as it's called, as mentioned in the previous article on whammybars and Strats. It is a bit more difficult to get the graphite under the string here, so loosen the strings a bit one by one, pull aside, and pencil the saddle itself, just under where the string lies. After you finish one, tune it back up and move on to the next one. Do not release the tension of all the strings at once with a floating bridge, as you can imagine this plays havoc with the tuning.Giddyup there... If you notice a lot of strings breaking across the bridge, it's time to replace your bridge saddles. If your handy at...

According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, planting trees and vegetation is a simple and effective way to reduce heat islands. When a city such as Downtown Clearwater strategically plants trees around homes and buildings the interior is directly cooled, therefore reducing air conditioning and peak energy demand. It has been proven that trees effectively cool the air and buildings around them through the production of shade and "evapotranspiration" which is the evaporation of water from leaves. It is interesting to learn that the shade from trees make the surface cooler anywhere from 9 to 36 degrees F or 5 to 20 degrees C. This is much cooler than the peak surface temperature of un-shaded...

In any industry where there is a lot of money to be made there is always a certain amount of people that will get involved who have no ethics or morality. These people will do anything to make a quick buck no matter who they hurt. Con Artists and Scammers seem to infiltrate every industry.

Worse, the consumer ends up having to eye everyone with suspicion and spend time investigating companies they wish to do business with. This also hurts the economy as a whole.
