After the tremolo system has been installed. It's time to install the bridge. The way I do it is putting the bridge directly on the guitar. With the 2 E strings install them and you will be able to line them up as in the picture bleow. You will need to use your center mark to help you line it up as well. Double check your position of the bridge before you mark it for your posts.

Finding out how far to put the bridge is pretty simple. Since there is a zero fret that is were you would start your measurement. Find out the distance from the zero fretwire to the 13th. fret wire. Using that distance go from the 13th. fretwire down to the body. Useing the distance you found before will put your bridge in the correct spot. So going from 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13th. fretwire.
After finding the distance. Drill out for the posts. When drilling (keep the drill straight). After that is done then you will need to route out a small channel between both posts. This type of bridge seen in the picture need's to sit under the body. Only a small amount.

After that is achived you will need to route your cavities that you gluded in place for the pickups to be screwed in the body. Note:you only need to go a small amount for the depth. If you go to deep you can use small washers to get the right height.
