Hi Guys,
I did my first angled brigde setup on an archtop i am building, Les Paul style.
I measured the scale length, 24 3/4" and marked it but when i set the bridge postition, for some reason instead of moving the bass post back i moved the top E post forward!
I was going off a picture in Martin Koch's book, which shows it this way.
The stupid thing is i didnt realize it was wrong until after i had painted the body! - (brain fade)
So basically now i have a bridge at the right angle, but about 1/4" too far forward.
I dont want to risk filling\redrilling\touchup of the body, but what if i move the neck forward in the pocket by 1/4" and insert a painted filler piece between it and the end of the pocket?
Any problems in doing this?
