To position the bridge:

1.Place a 36" long straightedge over the center of the fretboard inlays and over the body, so it aligns with the strap button hole, then mark the center line on the guitar body (Figure 13).

—If the strap button hole is not pre-drilled, or you do not want to use the strap button hole as a center line marker, place a ruler across the body at several locations and mark the center line.

2.Using the straightedge, measure 34" from the fretboard side of the nut slot (Figure 14) along the center line to the bridge point (Figure 15), and mark this location on the guitar.

4.Using a Phillips head screwdriver, turn the G string saddle adjustment screw so the set screws shown in Figure 15 are centered over the bridge point.

5.Using a Phillips head screwdriver, turn the lower saddle adjustment screw so the set screws shown in Figure 15 are centered over the bridge point.
