Where to notch a bridge, & relative effects ????? ( Advice sought )

[Ric Brekne]

Hi Terry

Just kind of reacted (a bit quick perhaps) to the lack of checking 
downbearing as part of your reply.  Tho I suppose you are right in 
assuming that anyone getting ready to renotch a bridge would have known 
to check this ahead of time.

That said... I suppose you  CAN have deeper string marks at the front 
pin then might be healthy for said removal.  Some of these string 
seating routines get pretty nasty. 

Sorry bout dat  :)

Cheers

Geeezzzzzz, here's another one! Of course! We should also check to see if
there is any crown to the soundboard, etc. The dude was asking about
notching and pinning - planing down to string groove base will not change
downbearing.
