told you it had agraffes on the bridge, right? Well one had high holes and the

zero net downbearing. If that is the case, I don’t think there would be
any advantage in install the suspension bolts. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

The Henry Miller has 23 bass as well but the shape of your bridge
should yield a far better tension overall. Beautiful legs baby!! I'll bet it
has the raised wooden paltform for the plate to sit on. You may be
better off putting a the new adjustablee suspension bolts in. Having fun yet?<br>
