Jehle Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 When I did mine (just a 6 string) I used double sided tape to attach the bridge in the right place. While it's on the guitar like that, it acts as a drill guide. Remove the saddles to have clear access to the 4 attachment holes and the 7 string through holes. If you don't use a drill press for your 7 string through holes, you can do what I did as well. * Drill one hole all the way through. * Drill the other 6, in your case, 90% of the way through. * remove the bridge, flip the body over. * use the double sided tape to put the bridge on the back of the guitar, line up the one hole you made. * drill the remaining 10% of the string through holes. * remove the bridge and you should have 7 nicely spaced holes all the way through the guitar body.

RAI6 Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 It only has four holes in it but it is a 7 string bridge. I think what you're saying is "how do I put 7 strings on a bridge that only has 4 holes...?" Well, it has 4 mounting holes. That's what you use to screw the bridge to the body. Then it still has 7 holes for the strings... Installation would be as mentioned above. Drill one hole all the way through, the other partially. Then flip it over and finish off the job... Enjoy!
