    Howdy from the Wild West

    An old cowboy just checked in. My first build attempt, so I'll likely be looking for a lot of help. Thanks in advance.

    ST-style, semi-hollow. It's a style I do not have. I plan to finish it in natural wood tones, and I want it to play. Haven't really started yet, but soon.

    Maybe dumb question, Brendan. Instruction manual, page 8. "...set the (bridge) saddles to the middle of their adjustment and check that it is approx at the end of your scale length." I have a Strat style tremolo bridge for s semi-hollow ST. What are the saddles, and how do I adjust them to their middle? Thanks.
