what height are your petrucci bridge sitting at?

[bonez]

Howdy guys, i just wondering at what height/level are your Petrucci bridge's sitting at?

i know the bridge has to be parallel to the body but at what height?

i would have thought it would be flush with body but no proper documentation is available from the site

here's a picture of what i mean, the bottom one is what im thinking it should be

any pictures of your bridges would also help as there really hard to find pictures on the net of them

I have mine set with the top of the bridge level with the body of the guitar, i.e. recessed into the body cavity.

is that the bottom one in that picture?

 

[jbert]

Yes - sorry, I should have specified that.

I have mine set up exactly how it came from the factory. There's about 1/16" of the main trem plate above the cavity. I'll take pics when I get home.

These are dangerous threads.....it is all in relation to the neck pocket......please dont change because of another guys is 1/16" lower.....The guitar is set up around the fit of the two wooden components...there is variation in any hand finish sanded piece 0of wood and that is why the adjustments are possible,
