    Sticking with the stock bridge as its what the Hoffs had anyway. I'm hoping the neck angle was right from the factory I did a test string before I glued it (clamped) and it seemed OK,haven't done a complete reassemble since. I may file some off the bottom of the nut as it did seem a bit high and the supplied strings weren't a great fit on the E and A . I will be using lighter strings so I wont file them till I have the thing complete

    Thanks for the info. I too found a closer to real Hoff look tailpiece...not that expensive. Two “Staple” style pickups not that expensive either....but them seem a very low output...only 6.4k resistance.

    Maybe I should have a go at a not bolted neck. Mmmmmm.
