Bridge Placement for JB-4M

[Paul_H]

I have seen a rule-of-thumb which suggests that with a "standard bridge" and 34" scale length, the bridge mounting screw holes should be aligned at 35" from the front of the nut.

This should situate the saddles at approximately 34", and provides the saddles with adequate adjustment away from, and little towards, the neck for setting intonation.

Seemed to work pretty well with my IB-5.

Thanks Paul_H. I've now got a measurement that I am happy with and have also positioned the saddles with enough room for adjustment when setting intonation.

Cheers!
