Gluing the bridge


20130627
The bridge is on!
I measured the correct distance from the 12 fret 325mm mark.
I tape the bridge to the top and then I drilled 2 guide holes (1mm) thru' the saddle slot.
Next I apply the hide glue and glue it onto the top and then I apply the clamps.
The wings are clamped using the cam clamps the central portion is by the Ibex clamp.
