Okay, I posted this on Jemsite, but with little success, and it was recommended that I try here, so here goes:
How would you go about setting up a bridge? I've got a Carvin 22-fret neck (this), and I'm going to be going with either a flat-mount bridge, or a stopbar/tune-o-matic.
My questions are:
-How would you measure the distance so that the bridge is placed properly?
-What would you measure from (and to on the bridge)?
-How would you make sure it's properly aligned?
Also I'm looking at two different bridges here, both from Carvin. One is flat mount string-through-body (found here), and the other is a tune-o-matic/stopbar (found here and here). Which would you recommend and why? Is one easier to install than the other?
Is there anything else I need to know about any of this stuff?
This is all for my summer project axe...
Thanks in advance for any help.
edit: fixed links, and BTW, this is a 25.5" scale neck.
