Classical Guitar Bridge Placement
Posted: Sun Aug 24, 2014 11:58 am
Hi everyone,
To begin with, I completely understand intonation, so my question is simple. I have a classical guitar, with a straight uncompensated bridge; the bridge placement difference, between treble E and bass E is .127". The classical guitars that I've seen have their bridges square to the neck.
Is it better to slant the bridge to compensate, or is the compensation done completely with the nut and saddle? 1/8" seems a lot to try to compensate by filing the saddle.
Thank you!
