Also,
measure
the
distance
from
the
point
where
the
neck
joins
the
body
to
the
front
corner
of
the
bridge.
This
distance
should
be
the
same
on
both
sides
of
the
bridge.
Continue
making
marks
on
masking
tape
until
the
bridge
can
be
accurately
placed
in
the
proper
location,
perpendicular
to
the
neck.
It
might
be
helpful
to
transfer
the
center
point
of
the
saddle
to
the
front
of
the
bridge
using
a
square
so
that
it
can
be
more
easily
aligned
to
marks
on
the
guitar
body.
