Toastman Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Hello, just wanted to know of its okay to have it this low? Both E strings are touching the bridge sligtly (it's because the slots are deep). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notes_Norton Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 It's a matter of taste, but I would have the bridge higher or the pickups lower. I use my ear to find the sweet spot for me. Notes ♫ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtim Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Personal taste for sure but I don't do anything like that.....mine are way closer to the body Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 The tailpiece is set rather high 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidblast Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 I've honestly never notice a bit of difference between the string touching the back of the bridge and not touching. I bought it to the whole thing, and tried it out, spent the time trying to A/B it all, and eventually decided I would just set it back to where the bar usually is set about 1/4 " of the body Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FernDog Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 I like to match the string angle at the bridge to the angle at the nut. Makes sense eh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
