Mark's PRS-1H Buid

[Bakersdozen]

I got one of those Musiclily bridges and couldn't use it on my PRS-1H build as it sat too high. Even with the posts wound all the way in my action at the 12th fret was still 4mm.

Sadly as an experiment I tried the same bridge on my PRS SE245 and got a similar result. Both my guitars currently sport the fixed intonation bridges and the adjustable bridge sits in my parts box...

Doing some final rounds to get scale length, neck angle and ensure I don't run into the same issues. With the bridge right on the deck, the strings touch the 24th fret, so I've got plenty of clearance to bring it up. The pics are with the bridge sitting about 2mm off the deck and that gives me less than 1mm at the 24th fret. Plenty of room to adjust when setting up.

The measurements for mine also look fine. In fact the Musiclilly bridge looks to be a tiny bit shorter than the one supplied with the kit. The bridge itself is about the same height but has string indents which make it shorter. Plus the bottom of the post screws are thinner and the top of the post inserts is thinner allowing the bridge to sit lower than the supplied bridge. So all up about 2mm lower for mine.

Winning!
