model361 Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 I recently purchased a fender string guide for a bass i'm buiding but have noticed unlike other bass giudes the fender one does'nt have any grooves cut into it? is this normal [attachment=13827:Acoustic...fier_web.jpg] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzz Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Err, picture unrelated perhaps? And not having grooves is normal, my Fender Aerodyne doesn't have them, however my Squier VMJ does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDarkReaver Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 That's because you seem to have bought an amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Telebass Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Quite normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarhead Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Yeah, its not meant to have the grooves cut into it, no idea why, because they are quite useful, but my Fender Jazz doesn't have the grooves in the string tree so I assume its normal.
