Bridge Location

The correct distances between the inside edge of the nut, the center of the 12th fret and the center of the saddle slot are crucial to the performance of this guitar. Figure 8 shows the correct dis- tances.

To determine the correct bridge location:

1.Position the front edge of the bridge exactly 317.6mm away from the center of the 12th fret (Figure 8).

2.Using a pencil, lightly mark the guitar body where the front edge of the bridge is located.

3.When placed against the end of the finger- board, the inside edge of the nut should be exactly 325mm from the center of the 12th fret (Figure 8).

4.Attach pieces of sewing thread to the 1st and the 6th nut slots and tape the opposite ends over the corresponding holes on the bridge.

5.Adjust the bridge so there is an equal amount of space between the fingerboard edges and the threads (Figure 9).
