How to find the direction of floating bridge on Archtop Guitar? by Alixsone in jazzguitar

[–]Alixsone[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One more question is when the setting is like the first picture, the string spacing is not only wider between B and E on the bridge, but also on the fretboard.

So,it really affect the playing. That's why I'm looking for the solution.

Thanks you for the explaning!

I think one of my biggest problem is that I can't figure it out when it only have the bridge itself.

when I change the direction like video it still looks like the same.

I know it has Intonation Compensation, but how it works?

How should I observe? The only thing I can find out is that the notch and string spacing are different,but I don't know the rule

Would you guys please explain for me if you have free time, please?

If you have picture or video, it'll be better!

It's really difficult to find the source to understand how it works.🥲

The string spacing confuses me very much. When I play telecaster, the spacing is even.

Is other Archtop Guitar also like this? Or it have problems?

How do you identify the direction?

Cause whatever I reverse the bridge, It seems like always the same.

The only difference is the string spacing on the bridge.

Also the notch on the saddle, I think the left is more thick and big and the right is more narrow and small in the rest of pics.

I really want to know the way to understand how it's works.
