Decision time.
The bridge has to move back a small amount to give optimum intonation leeway.
The limitation of movement is only a couple of mm, due to the front of the rout emerging from under the front of the bridge.
If I was going for a solid colour there would be the option of filling the front edge.
As it's initially a wood stain, I'm just doing the mimimum movement required.
As you can see this means the standard pickguard is aesthetically out of place.
I'll cobble one up initially from some offcut I have laying around.
cheers, Mark.
