Similarly one may ask, how do you adjust the height of a guitar saddle?
You raise or lower the saddle by turning the hex screws with a tine hex wrench. Turn the screw clockwise to raise the saddle; turn it counter-clockwise to lower the saddle. If the saddle has two hex screws, be sure to turn them the same amount so that the saddle stays level.

One may also ask, how do you drill a bridge for a guitar?

How do you line up a guitar bridge?
How do you measure a guitar bridge?
The simplest way to make out the position of each of the single saddles that make up the bridge is to measure the distance to the 12th fret on the low E string, double the distance and find the position of that saddle. Next do the same for the high E string.
How far should the tailpiece be from the bridge?
Usually the distance from the center of the bridge to the fret of the tailpiece (after length) is 1/6 that of the length of the strings measured from the center of the bridge to the fret of the fingerboard (effective string length). The distance of the tailpiece from the bridge influences the sound of an instrument.
How high should the bridge be on a guitar?
For acoustic guitars, our recommendation bumps up to 7/64th of an inch (2.78mm) on the bass side and 5/64th of an inch (1.98mm) on the treble side.
What is a guitar nut?
A guitar’s nut serves several important functions. Located at the end of the fingerboard (where it meets the headstock), the nut determines the spacing of the strings and the action in the lower registers. Different materials will influence a guitar’s tone, and a poorly fit nut will greatly affect playability.
