| "SS Bridge Clamp"© Instructions |
||||||||||||||||
| The “SS Bridge Clamp”© is truly “Super Simple” to use. The clamp applies pressure by being secured to the top using two wing nut bolts and two wing nuts fastened through the outside bridge pin holes. Once the bridge has been properly located the two BP holes need to be drilled using a 3/16 “ bit. We highly recommend using our “Bridge Setter”© tool for this operation. |

| We drill two pilots through the saddle in addition to the outside bridge pin holes. |

| Two pieces of thin scrap material are taped to the end of the bridge to prevent the clamp from scratching the surface. |

| Coat the threads of the wing bolts with bar soap or candle wax to prevent gluing them to the guitar. Place the “SS Bridge Clamp”© on the bridge, locate the clamp and the bridge, through the top using the wing bolts. Notice the clearance holes for the saddle position locating pins. |

| Once the middle bolts are secure the two out side bolts are gently screwed down. Glue squeeze-out should appear all the way around the bridge. Now is the part where the “SS Bridge Clamp”© really shines --- the glue squeeze-out can be completely cleaned up since there are no obstructions like other clamping methods |

| Follow the adhesive manufacturer’s recommendation for drying time before removing the clamp. |
