Step

—Installing and Notching the Bridge

Start by sliding the bridge (Part P) under the strings as shown in the photo below.

Now measure 13 inches from the bottom of the nut to the top of the bridge, as shown in the photo on the next

page. Slide the bridge around under the strings until the top ridge is exactly at 13 inches.

It is recommended that you file a tiny groove just enough for the string to sit, so they don’t slip when playing.

A kitchen knife can be used for this purpose—only a very small groove/slot is needed to help keep the string

in place.
