Make a RUBBER BRIDGE for $10 — Get today's HIT sound by converting an Acoustic Guitar
#makearubberbridge #rubberbridgeguitar #rubberbridgesound
How can YOU get the rubber bridge sound all over today's biggest hit songs?
Last week, I shared 3 non-invasive ways to emulate rubber bridge tone, and this week, I demonstrate how I changed an acoustic guitar semi-permanently by making an ACTUAL RUBBER BRIDGE for about $10.
Hear the difference between the rubber and sponge mutes we used last week, and the real rubber bridge I created this week. Which sound do you like best?
No matter what your preference, you'll be surprised how easily YOU can get the magically DEAD sound of a rubber bridge, and how it can bring new LIFE to your own music.
