Overlander's IB-5 - First kit build.

[stuzl873213]

So I have finally spent some time clearing a few other projects and am about to get stuck into this build.

I spent some time marking out the centre of the body today to get a few lines to help place the bridge.

I had previously read here somewhere about setting saddle positions at around mid travel and locating bridge with saddles at double the distance from nut to 12th fret......


But I also recall something about adjusting the G string saddle to more like 3/4 out and using the G string starting point. I haven't been able to find that again though.

Based on the 34" scale, the bridge is quite close to the pickup as shown in the pic below.


Any tips greatly appreciated.

On my RC4 I found that I should have moved the bridge further back.

Was surprised that there was not as much difference between the A & G strings as I expected when I set the intonation using a meter.

Hi Stuzl, yeah I'm hoping that I have gone the right way. I guess time will tell, if I need to move it hopefully I can still cover or disguise any holes made.

Thanks for the tip!
