What size bridge clamps?

Post by hummingbird »

Anybody know what size bridge clamps I should get. 5" 7" 9"
I'm building all sizes of guitars jumbo to parlor. I bought a fox bridge clamp but my bridges are curved and it only exerts pressure directly over the holes and not the offset wings. I assume 3 clamps should suffice.
