The nut is to be glued above the fretboard on the neck (needed clearance between
fretboard and headstock 5 mm, see previous section). Apply wood glue on both sur‐
faces. Put the nut on the neck and fix it to dry the adhesive joint with rubber rings on
the neck.
The bridge is to be glued and fixed with the two long screws on the soundboard.
First mark the correct position of the bridge on the soundboard. Note the spacing
dimensions shown in the figure.
Apply wood glue on both surfaces. Put the bridge on the soundboard and fix it to dry
the adhesive joint gently with a screw clamp.
NOTICE!
Tighten the clamp very carefully and only hand tight. Excessive force
may damage the soundboard.
Drill the two screw holes with a 1.5-mm wood drill by through the two blind holes in
the bridge and the soundbooard. Fix the bridge with the supplied long screws on the
soundboard. Then place the protective caps on the screw heads.
Finally, insert the saddle into the designated groove of the bridge.
