Default Rosette Diamond Bridge beads

I tried these tonight and I managed to get them on the strings and the guitar strung up successfully tonight without poking an eye out. I'm sure you'll all sleep better tonight knowing this

Seriously though, if you can't be bothered with tying these are good.

That's good to know. I've got a set waiting for my next string change. Although I've managed to delay that by the simple expedient of buying a new guitar rather than changing the strings on the old one

I tried them in the past and they worked., But just couldn't get over the appearance of them. They just didn't look right to me.

Changing & tying strings has become a form of meditation for me.

Plus, I don't stab my fingers with the trebles like I do with steel strings.

I have them on a few of my guitars. I don’t mind tying but I purchased a used guitar and it came with the beads in place. So I’ve used them on some of my other nylons, also with out losing an eye.
