Warwick Set Up Question from Videos

[Andrew Horne]

Hi

Ive just watched the set up videos for about the 50th time and still don't really understand something. Perhaps someone can help out here.

1.38 into "Adjusting the action"
Quote: "Lower the height of the outer strings until they rest slightly on the bridge"

rest slightly on the BRIDGE ? Am I being daft here, but i can't see what the guy doing the voiceover actually means?

Help anyone ?

Thanks

Lower the outer two saddles until they rest on the bridge without being pushed up by their individual alan screws.
Then put the bridge itself at a height where the outer two strings barely touch the last fret.
Adjust the other saddles so that their strings also barely touch the last fret.

This way, the radius of string heights will be exactly the same as the radius of your fretboard.

Now raise the whole bridge itself to adjust your action. Should be able to get as close as about 2mm at the 12th fret.

 

[verb]

Lower the small individual string saddles so that the string touches the saddle carrier(the part that moves to adjust intonation)
