Bridge plate thickness

Post by Danl8 »

My plate is 0.022" thinner than the std Martin plate. What kind of trouble am I in for if I use it?

that may be too thin. I like to see them .100
.135 for 12 strings.

Thanks, John. I had wondered if .078 might be ok even though it is somewhat flexible compared to 0.10" -- At least I have a good pattern now.
