screwdelulu Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 I am working on my first guitar, so I already did couple of stupid mistakes (I'll put them on a thread soon). One of my mistakes was that the bridge post holes are not 3-1/4" as it should be (i'm using schaller bridge\tailpiece). The deviation is just 0.5 mm (0.02 of an inch) but it is enough for this to not work. What is the best way of fixing this? I had two ideas: 1. Is to fill one of the holes and drill it again, this time using a jig that will give me a 3-1/4" spacing. 2. Sand the bridge or the post a little bit so it will fit. My instincts tell me that i should go with the first one, what do you say? Itai P.S. Sorry about my english, it is not very good... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PerryL Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Ah, Your Instincts serve you well, Screwdelulu. Don't try and get the bridge to fit holes, but the holes to fit the bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
