Hello,

I've picked up my first custom shop fender this week - a J5 signature model. I'm no slouch when it comes to setups and I've built a few guitars myself, but I've come to the experts to ask about this one!

As you may know, the John 5 signature has a Bigsby system. The bridge consists of individual saddles supported by two allen-key screws; almost the same as the classic tele barrel-shape bridge but with one per string instead of three shared saddles.

The Bigsby kind of dictates where the strings are to be fed through onto the saddles, as when you go all the way slack then you tend to jump over the knurls if they're off centre (especially while bending). Thing is, some of these saddles are aligned such that the allen key screws are right under where the string wants to run.

Here's a big pic:

So, on to my question: how can I set this up so that the string behave themselves?

Many thanks in advance!

-Alan
