chew101 Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 hello all, first time here, I have a question I'm sure someone will answer easily. Why is the bridge on the 335 not arranged parallel to the pickups? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpdeluxe Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Each string stretches by a different amount when fretted at the various frets. To correct for this, the vibrating length of the bass strings must be terminated slightly further from from the nut than that of the treble strings. Since each string is unique in its response, the overall bias of the bridge is refined by allowing individual adjustment of the length of each.
