    It has a 12″ radius. I’ll recheck it. Maybe it’s closer to 10 near the high end. I think I checked the radius around the 7th fret but didn’t think to check up the board. I also didn’t sand the board with the 12″ block. Starting to think that I should have.

    Right. The BC Rich Bronze had a wrap around bridge with individual saddles for each string. The studs were tilting towards the nut so I pulled them and used a dowell to plug the holes. I’ve put together parts-casters before and all of them had pilot hole or were used bodies so placing the bridge was easy. This is the first time I have had to locate the bridge.

    Would you say that adding 9/64ths is a rule of thumb?

    And thank you all for the advice.
