Part 2. Make the saddle slot, tie block inlay slots, and trough slot.
Drill the string holes with a No.53 drill bit (1.51mm).
On the original J.Gilbert bridge the holes for the 1st, 2nd, and 4th string are No. 60 (0.040") and strings 3,5 and 6 are No.55 (0.052").

Thanks for this series, David. I have a couple of questions about the design. How does he weight of the Gilbert bridge design compare to the weight of a traditional design? It seems to me that the Gilbert design is quite a bit stiffer across the length of the bridge than a traditional design. Is this a correct observation?
