My bridges are 4" x 3/4", and about 1/4" (6mm-7mm) thick. (Either African blackwood or ebony)
Saddle slot is 1/8" wide x 5mm deep and tilted back about 6-7 degrees.
The front edge of the saddle slot is about 5mm back from the front edge of the bridge.
String holes are about halfway between back edge of saddle slot and back of bridge.
String holes are drilled straight down, but not all the way through- (this stops glue coming up the holes when you glue the bridge on.) I counter sink the holes and dremel string ramps too (see attached video)
Welcome to the brain of an Aussie living in Merica- i use inches and mm on the same job!!!
