But you also keep stating that you will be tapering the bore 
to accommodate the 6.5mm string height difference that, in 
fact, won't be there if you raise the treble end of the plate 
to accommodate the bridge height change. Doesn't compute, 
which is why I asked.

Ok, that's what I was trying to clear up. Thanks.
