Fret Board and Bridge Layout Summer 2015/ Spring 2016 This is the only approved process for initial layout and testing for Guitarbuilding.org kits. Do not mix any parts that were created prior to summer 2015 they will have different distances. 1. Pre fit your guitar neck and body make sure there are no gaps. Understand when screws and clamps are applied the joint may tighten up. 2. Make sure the neck lies flat in the neck pocket. Any angle will change the measurements. Support the headstock if necessary. 3. Fretboard placement lines up with the lines up with the headstock transition of the neck. NO overhang 4. Align the bridge with the mounting and string holes. Measurements are ONLY to the e’ (High e) string. Saddle position of the e’ saddle should be set to allow travel in both directions for intonation. Set e’ saddle distance 3/8” – 7/16”
