I've owned my BB for about 4 months now. I am loving it!!!
I have some questions though... beings this is the first non-tremolo electric guitar that I've ever owned. So, I'm not too familiar with how to make sure the bridge is setup properly. Is there a general guide for this? I have simple questions like, should the bridge be tightened all the way down to the body? Should I be concerned about the break-angle of the strings over the saddle?
Also, when I received the guitar (I am not the original owner), the adjustable saddles were all centered in a pefect row. And of course the intonation was way off. I've since adjusted the intonation, but I am curious as to why someone would have had the saddles in a perfect row like that. Would the guitar have come from the factory like that?
And... when I adjusted the intonation of the low-E string, I had to adjust the saddle as far as it would go (away from the nut, to lengthen the string), but technically the intonation is still a hair sharp. I can live with it, but I'm just curious if this is typical.
Thanks!
