I thought rather than hijack the thickness thread or have this hidden in there, I'd start a new one. What is the thinking behind attaching and/or NOT attaching the bridge plate to the X bracing. I believe its Cumpiano that suggests leaving it shy of the X, some folks butt up against them, and some even tuck them into the X..... -j. |

I butt it up against the X. I think Cumpiano/Nathelson suggest this also... I think you will find the majority will go this route... |

For a long time I inlet the plate into the X but now I snugly butt up. |

Tucking is a less-than-good idea. The bridge/bridge plate is one of those areas that will likely need repair in the course of the guitar's lifetime. If it is tucked into the x brace, it will be most difficult to get out should the need arise. Butting up is adiquate. |

Never tuck a bridge plate into the X-brace! Your asking for trouble ! Also -just think -cutaway the X-brace !!! Butting is great! AND if you build your guitar right from the start the plate will NEVER need to be replaced !!! That's another post ! mike |

what michael said. bridge plates are bad enough to get out when they are not inlet into the x; if they are it would be just about impossible without a major disassembly. |

Hi J. Cumpiano butts the patch against the crossbraces , but does leave a small ( 1/8 " ) gap between the patch and the first lower tone bar . Good thing or bad thing ? |

Yes, Thats right, its the tone bar that there is a gap on, and not the X. My mistake. Sorry. So, it seems that we're all in agreement on the butt, and that tucking is a very bad idea for future fixin'. Thanks!! -j. |

I'm very inexperienced, but my plate just pushes up against the bracing. Ron |

Boy howdy, someone is going to be quite dissapointed when they do a Google search for nice butts and this Stankin' forum comes up. |
