Hello folks.
I waited a week and some but received my new Starfire VI from half way across the country (from Ontario). What a beautiful guitar!! Even with the dead strings strongly suggesting it was a demo handled by many with dirty hands, it still chimes!
Anyway, I went to change strings, and I never had a bigsby before so got really confused by how to hook the strings on the tiny studs protruding from the bar. Went on youtube and found out. But then I loosened all my strings before I realized my bridge is not attached. Yikes! It's sliding everywhere. Question is, does it matter that much where it sits once I tighten the new strings on. Seems it WOULD matter. And if it does matter, is there a technique for finding just the right place for that bridge?
Thanks
