HELP!! Just went to put on the bridge but have found what looks like a major problem. The holes for the tailpiece screws don't seem to be far enough apart! I can only fit the tailpiece with the bolts wound all the way out, and trying to screw them down from that position is impossible as I get about 1 turn on either side before they lock up. Seems like 2 or 3mm further apart needed
Same problem in reverse with the bridge, the holes are too far apart by 1 or 2mm.
Any thoughts on how I could tackle this?

this should have been spotted at the initial mock up.
my twin neck sg had a similar issue, just took some gentle persuading and its right as rain
My LP had the same problem, since it was a solidbody, I used the bridge as a lever and tilted the mounting screws inward a bit, and it worked wonders, the bridge is solid! But i doubt it will work for you Hoops...
problem all sorted! persuaded it gently with a drill! :) Here's the final assembly underway with the help of my beautiful assistant, Kerrie.

Using Gavin's method of feeding the components through the f-hole. Worked a treat!

I thought this one was worth taking just to show what a big operation assembly really is. It was touch and go, but the patient pulled through.

And here's the finished product! Well, almost finished, I plan another tweak or two. But I am thrilled with the way it all turned out. And it sounds pretty damn fine too!
