RIckenbacker bridge

Post by cooperman »

Hi, I've got my bridge and saddles mixed up, silly me! and cant work out which way round the bridge should go on my 330.
Please could you tell me which way the heads of the allen bolts on the saddle adjusters should point, i.e. towards the tailpiece or towards the neck. I can probably work the rest out from there.
Thanks

Looks to me like the head of the screw would go toward the bridge.
Look here:

The screw heads face the tailpiece. The rest you should be able to figure out from the shapes of the tops of the saddles and the positions of the string slots. Good Luck.

This reminds me....I bought a '61 360F once from Elderly. When it arrived, the bridge had been put on backwards! Putting it back correctly, the guitar played much better! :-)
