Re: KM-900 and 950 bridge location?
I believe Mandoplumb is right on the money. The KM900 has a "rounder" body than most modern A5's. Most modern A5s have a more gentle slope to the shoulders where the body joins the neck whereas the KM900 has a more drastic turn into the round part of the sides. I think this creates a optical illusion of the bridge being farther forward.
