I haven't installed a bridge before. I am working on an LP Jr-ish project, and I am installing a wraparound bridge.
I got the distance it needs to be from the nut using the calculator on the StewMac site.
What I don't know are any tips/tricks for properly aligning it for the strings.
The other thing I am curious about, is while I know the distance it needs to be, I know it also needs to be at a slight angle. So if it's angled, where do I measure that distance to?
I have access to a drill press this weekend, so I am trying to get the body marked before then. I don't own equipment like that myself, so I wanna take advantage.
Sorry if my wording isn't the best. If you need me to rephrase anything let me know.
