Thanks once again, McCreed! Hopefully I won't need to move the bridge, but if it does turn out to be necessary, at least I know what to do now. The good news is that it seems vanishingly unlikely that I'll have to move the bridge more than 10mm forward, so there's no harm in moving forward with finishing -- any work required will be underneath the bridge plate. Gotta love Teles
Anyhow, time to get the tools out and actually do some work on this thing! Coping
