Once you have the neck into position and move the saddle slides to the front you are ready to locate . Measure from the nut to the 12th fret and double that . measure along the 1st ( hi E ) string and set the bridge into position . Be sure you square it up following the center line of the neck.
Your hardware for the adjustable bridge will have the posts. You may now locate them . This will allow you to adjust the bridge to intonate the strings .
What pick up you using ? and what brand of kit ?
