How to fit a guitar bridge - Telecaster Partscaster

I'm making a telecaster out of parts I've picked up over the years and in this video I'll show you how to fit the bridge.

The main two things to consider are alignment and scale length: make sure you have a centre line so that the bridge is perfectly lined up to the neck and make sure you know the scale length of the instrument (you can work this out by measuring from the nut to the twelfth fret and doubling that measurement).

After fitting the bridge, put the strings on and get the guitar set up.
