4001 bridge route dimensions
Does anyone have the dimensions and radiuses etc for a 4001 bridge route? I want to plug the damage in the Wreckenbacker bridge route then re-route it back to standard dimensions.

I believe they are sort of non-standard. You would need to estimate/eyeball it.... obviously by practicing on scrap to get the dimensions right before you cut into the plug. Don't forget to leave a nice 1/8" +/1 gap under the bottom where the 3 screws go - otherwise you won't get any tail lift!

Wayne...It's been awhile since I've done a route for a 4003 style tailpiece (I've put a few on 4004's) but one thing I do remember is that I used a nickel for the radius at either end of the bridge route itself, and that from outside edge to outside edge, it was 84-85mm long. I can't remember the dimensions for the mute route.

Okay, so what's the Arab equivalent of a nickel?

Re: 4001 bridge route dimensions
Now why would you want to do that to someone's trees?

Re: 4001 bridge route dimensions
Why not measure the tailpiece and route to fit.

Re: 4001 bridge route dimensions
Thanks for the answers guys. Sorry I haven't replied sooner but I'm in Scotland on vacation - warm it is NOT!
I could leave the bridge route as it is as no one would ever see that it's been butchered before but I'LL know it's there, lol. I want to repair it back to "standard".
