I seen on the site some of the ways people have modified their SX at the bridge,to make it easier to change strings.For about $10 i found a string retainer on Ebay.This works great,still retains the original bridge so intonation is spot on,and i think i have a little more sustain.
Cheers keep steelin

Great idea Carl. The bridge has been upgraded on the one I have, but it's still wrap around style.

Your mod makes loading strings so much easier and it looks good too. Good job.
