Bridge Placement - Lining Up, No Pre-Drilled Holes

Having seen a friend who is also a luthier doing this - string / thread. He attached thread to machine heads (E and G, E and E 6 string) or their holes, ran it through nut and then to bridge. Thinking this through a bit - stick bridge to body - double sided tape? Fix thread / string to saddles and then through nut and onto something 'solid'. Adjust bridge position left - right then drill pilot holes.

2mm is about what the bridge on my CNC mass produced 2014 Gibson SG bass is out by. Not impressed on that one, overcome by Hipshot.

Thanks 3Below, was thinking along those lines. Shocking on a commercially built bass!

Agree - what surprised me was that the Hipshot bridge bought used from this forum was set up to deal with the same issue on another SG bass. It is not just mine.
