Re: Bridge detail for a '40s(?) Strad-O-Lin
That's a string height thing, isn't it? The dimension I'm interested in is along the strings. It affects the bridge placement at the 1/8" level, which is admittedly small. Swapping the saddle end-for-end and keeping the ridge which sets the string free length in the same place results in a change of the foot placement by some small amount. The fact that there is an asymmetry makes me think that there is an intended result. Otherwise why not make the saddle symmetric? Then you don't have to specify the orientation to your assembly staff on the production line.
