How high should the bridge be on an acoustic guitar?
Measuring at the 12th fret (as in the photo), the action height should be 2.6 mm for Steel String Acoustic guitar, 1.8 for electric, 2.0mm for bass and 3mm for a Classical.
Should a guitar bridge be even?
Generally not. You usually want the gap between the bottom of the string and the top of the frets to be fairly consistent and just high enough to avoid excessive fret buzz for your picking dynamics. That often means the low string side of the bridge needs to be a little higher.
What kind of glue do you use on a guitar bridge?
Once sure that the bridge is well mated to the top, it is ready to be glued into position. We typically prefer titebond as the glue of choice because it has a reasonably long open time, is fairly easily removed if necessary, and it is easy to apply and cleanup. Hot hide glue is another, more traditional, option.
Where should a bridge be placed on a guitar?
To find out the general area where the bridge should be placed, measure the length of your neck from the nut to the 12th fret. Take that distance and double it. That is the distance from the nut that your bridge should generally sit.
Which side of the guitar bridge should be higher?
The treble side is normally played higher up the neck and so lowering that side, makes lead playing easier. If you look at high end classical guitars like Ramirez and the fingerboards were ramped, or tapered in both directions so you could compensate for that aspect without changing the bridge saddle height.
