Bridge Mounting

[xLoVexSHINEx]

If a body came drilled out ( like from warmoth ) for a Tune O Matic bridge how do you mount the studs to the body ? do they just sit in the holes ? is there a certain glue to use ? maybe something else ? thanks!!

Re: Bridge Mounting

Most just knock the inserts in ( w/ Hammer + wood block), you can use a drop of epoxy, wood glue or superglue to "fix" them if you so desire

should i just push em in so they're somewhat snug ? very snug ?

The hole has a bottom: Try not to go farther than that :laugh2:

In other words: Get em in as far as you can, with warmoth´s pre-drilled holes it should already be the perfect depth anyway. Perfect is IMO when the bushing top is about .5 -1mm under the top of the guitar
