Hey guys, I'm fairly advanced with my plan.
The only thing that bugs me is the neck angle thing..
I placed my end of fb point as well as the end of body one. For the height of the bridge (thumbwheel set all the way to the bridge), I don't know how to measure it correctly. Saddles are radiused,and I'm measuring from the bottom of the thumbwheel (lowest point where bridge could touch the body from what I can see). if I just take the flat part of the bridge (not the saddles, the part that is straight), it's 0.5in . But strings rest on the saddles so if I take the measurement from the middle saddles, it's the heighest point that reads about 0.62in. Since the saddles are radiused it's kinda hard to evaluate. I have a range of neck angle that would vary between 3.5 to about a lil less than 5 degrees.
which are the 2 appropriate spots for the right height of the bridge ?
btw, the neck will be angled back the Gibson way
thanks !
