8.Using a Phillips head screwdriver, turn the lower saddle adjustment screw so the set screws shown in Figure 16 are centered over the bridge point.

9.Align the control plate, pick guard, and bridge so the bridge is parallel to the control plate (leave an even distance between the pickguard and bridge).

10.Mark the mounting holes for the control plate and pick guard (Figure 17), then remove these components, as well as the neck, bridge, and pick guard pickup.

Note: Take care to correctly position the con- trol plate mounting holes so you do not drill into the control plate cavity.

11.Using a 1⁄16" drill bit, drill 3⁄8" deep holes in the body for the pick guard and control plate.

12.Determine whether you want to mount the strings through the bridge or whether you want to mount them to the body using the ferrules.

—If you decide to mount the strings through the bridge, skip to Mounting Tuners, Page 14.

—If you decide to mount the strings through the body, go to Installing Ferrules.

Installing Ferrules

The strings can be installed through the body using the ferrules—instead of just through the bridge. One advantage of using the ferrules is that the strings will sustain notes longer. Ferrules can be mounted flush (Figure 18) or above (Figure 19) the surface of the guitar.
