|
|
Hey guys, I am new to this forum, but I thought I'd join since I just bought my first shortscale: a 1975 black Fender Mustang. It's all original except for the bridge. I am not able to lower the action on this replacement bridge, so if there isn't somehow another way to lower the action, what bridge should I pick up so that I may do so? |

If the bridge is lowered sll the way to the scratchplate, then you'll need to put a shim in the neck pocket to raise the fretboard/neck up towards the strings. Then readjust the bridge to optimum. It sounds stressful, but it's actually really easy. Loads of online tutorials and vids. _________________ www.lowrisemusic.com
