Did your kit actually come with a split bridge? I'll be filthy if it did. All I got was a 3mm wide strip of Ebony that sat loosely in the 1/8" bridge slot meant to hold it. I might experiment with gluing that bit to some hard maple i have lying around to get it fitting properly as it ain't gonna work the way it is.

I shall have to read that full article when I get closer to the noisy end of the build, thanks for the link. I forget that StewMac isn't just a tools and supplies resource sometimes.

Have you struck any of the other issues I raised? Be interesting to see.
Apologies for the Thread Jacking GreyFloyd, though it's kind of relevant??
