Hi,
As advised by Michael, I am in the process of 'upgrading' the biscuit bridge on my Republic single cone to an NRP one. I needed a slightly higher saddle, and I've checked that the NRP bridge fits well, and does give me a little more height at the saddle. So, all that is fine. I had a few questions regarding the overall set-up:
(1) To decrease neck relief (make the neck more straight), is the truss rod to be turned clockwise? That kind of intuitively appeals to me, but wanted to double check! Also, does the short end of the Allen key go into the hole (the truss rod screw), or the long end?
(2) What kind of twelfth fret clearance do you guys aim at eventually? I know that this will vary, but will appreciate your input.
(3) Finally, are the saddle string slots to be slightly slanted to slope down towards the tailpiece?
Thanks!
