    Oh Snot. Can you plug and re position the anchors to move it back or would you need to rout the block cavity bigger as well?

    I thought about that, but there's not enough wood left and there's a crack in the wood where the pivot post for the high e-string side of the bridge is, so it's not going to be strong enough, I'll have to start completely from scratch again.


    And I agree, oh snot indeed.


    Here's a pic of the crack in the wood next to the pivot post, I tried to get the camera to focus on it but this is the best I could do, hopefully you can see it clearly enough:

    Maybe if I buy a complete Pitbull STF-1 kit I could use it to start again from scratch.
