The edge closest to the pick-ups is ever so slightly lower than the edge closest to the tail-piece. Possibly the holes for the height screws were drilled in at a slight angle? The bridge works fine. I was just curious as to whether whether this angle serves a purpose, or is actually typical for most Alembic bridge asemblies. Thanks again, James mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 1126 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Thursday, September 18, 2003 - 10:38 am:    Yeah, it's typical. The string pull forces the leading (pickup) edge of the bridge slightly lower.
