BigRedX Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 New Complexity make guitars with pickups between the bridge and the tail-piece and the ability to "tune" the strings behind the bridge. This one just has the bridge fitted in the wrong place. It should be sat on the "end" of the tail-piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 The bridge design on this later evolved into the one used on Guild starfire, but where the later versions used four rosewood saddles, this should be a single long saddle held in place by the strings 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 IIRC from the one I used to own, the two screws immediately behind the bridge in the photo above were used to adjust the string height. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 that is correct — and on my modern starfire there’s a metal plate fixed to the body for these height adjustment screws to rest on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rear screw holds it in place while the front screws adjust the height. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
