The correct distances between the inside edge of
the nut, the center of the 12th fret and the center
of the bridge saddle slot are crucial to the perfor-
mance of this guitar. Figure 7 shows the correct
distances.
To determine the correct bridge/nut loca-
tions:
1.
Position the center of the bridge saddle slot
exactly 325mm away from the center of the
12th fret (Figure 6).

2.
Using a pencil, lightly mark the guitar body
where the front edge of the bridge is locat-
ed.
3.
When placed against the end of the finger-
board, the edge of the nut should be exactly
325mm from the center of the 12th fret
(Figure 6).
4.
Attach pieces of sewing thread to the 1st and
the 6th nut string slots and tape the opposite
ends over the corresponding string slots on
the bridge.
5.
Adjust the bridge so there is an equal amount
of space between the fingerboard edges and
the threads (Figure 7).

Using a pencil, lightly mark the guitar body
where the side edges of the bridge are
located. Note—DO NOT glue the bridge to
the body at this time.
