H3098 Western Guitar Kit
The correct distances between the inside edge of
the nut, the center of the 12th fret and the center
of the saddle slot are crucial to the performance
of this guitar. Figure 8 shows the correct dis-
tances.
To determine the correct bridge location:
1. Position the front edge of the bridge exactly
317.6mm away from the center of the 12th
fret (Figure 8).
2. Using a pencil, lightly mark the guitar body
where the front edge of the bridge is located.
3. When placed against the end of the finger-
board, the inside edge of the nut should be
exactly 325mm from the center of the 12th
fret (Figure 8).
4. Attach pieces of sewing thread to the 1st and
the 6th nut slots and tape the opposite ends
over the corresponding holes on the bridge.
5. Adjust the bridge so there is an equal
amount of space between the fingerboard
edges and the threads (Figure 9).
6. Using a pencil, lightly mark the guitar body
where the side edges of the bridge are locat-
ed. Note—DO NOT glue the bridge to the
body at this time.
