Lo-Pro set up query - Sadly lacking tech skills I'm afraid!


Hi,
I have decided to take more of an interest in the tech upkeep of my guitars instead of just sending them off to a pro to tweak and adjust.

I still haven't touched my DBK as far as set-up goes, so it's still in factory state. (which is not the best as you can imagine)
My only query (as all other questions have been answered by the tech section of jemsite) is about the "angle" of the bridge.

When adjusting the trem springs the reference point for the 1.5mm (pick) clearance is the high "E" end of the bridge. Should the low "E" end also have a 1.5mm clearance or should this be slighty higher as is common with most bridges.

Thanks
Hope I make sense.

Steve
