Hi Every one. I'm Dave.

I'm about to start my first guitar build so this is the first post in my build diary. I'm a complete novice but really looking forward to it. I'm doing a TLA-1.

The first thing I'm planning to do is a test of the neck. Adam has suggested that a I clamp it in place, finger tight set up the bridge, and test the two E strings for intonation. So I guess the first thing I'll need to know how to do is correctly position the bridge. I'm sure the info will be available for this, but if anyone has any tips in temporarily (i.e. pre sanding and body finishing) the bridge, I'd be grateful. I found this. Is this on the right track?

I guess the finger tight aspect is so as not to fully engage the screw holes in the body, and leave some wood to screw in to for later.
