I'm not a builder but I've been doing some tinkering with my mandolin and I need some educated advice. The neck angle on my Fender A is so steep that I get a buzz on the high frets even at the highest setting on the factory bridge. Short of changing the neck (major surgery; no truss rod) I've decided to fashion my own, slightly higher, solid bridge out of stock maple. How thick should this new piece be? Does a solid base versus two or three feet make a difference in response? Anything else I should worry about? Sorry about the generic nature of the questions, but I really am brand new at this. Thanks in advance.
