Bridge and Stop position

sean112 · 08-03-2008, 10:02 PM

Hi,
I just got hold of a neck and body and am gradually putting it all together.
All the control and pickup cavities were pre routed but the positions for the bridge and tailpiece are unmarked-
does anyone have measurements for these?
All I can work out is that the stop piece sits slightly forward of the top volume control!
But some acurate measurements would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks
Sean

the bridge is equal distance from the 12th fret, as the distance from 12th fret to nut.
the stop bar is positioned after that is worked out.
