That depends on what type of bridge you have though. There are two different styles, one like a normal acoustic and one where you have to tie them on. I'm 100% sure on this one!

you have to use a ball end on a normal acoustic bridge, but you can use one on a classical bridge too, im 100% sure about this because i do it all the time

allow me to be lame for a moment.. but I would not use ballends on a "tied" bridge 'cause you'd be able to see the ballends.. and tieing isn't that hard and it looks pretty :roll:

I have used then with balls, and they tend to slip off. I tie them on my mom's. It's not hard to, and it holds it well.
