Neck set on a new build
Using a homemade jig I made I find the location of the saddle.
A strait edge showed me I’m low.
The bridge is 3/8 of an inch, the strait edge is 7/32 off the body , so I need to come up about 5/32.
Using a page out of a kit build , I use this formula.
Filling in the dimensions I come up with 1/16th of an inch.
I mark the 16th on the top and then down the side , from 1/16th to zero.
I chisel the top and then ramp down the side.
Then file and sand , checking the fit until I’m satisfied.
Now I’m just above the bridge,maybe a 1/16th, this is exactly what I wanted.
