Myriam Report post Posted April 14, 2008 First time I hear about string sticks. What are they used for? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elton Joorisity Report post Posted April 14, 2008 They are used to tighten saddle strings when you bleed the knots in. Some guys swear by them and some just plain don't Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Myriam Report post Posted April 15, 2008 Thanks, Elton. It does bring up another question. What does "bleed the knots in" mean? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
