RGA8 - New Body...how to install bridge?

[Adam_T]

So I just finished my new RGA8 body, and I am curious as to how you install the FX Edge III-8 bridge. Everything is routed properly for it, but the 3 places where the bridge screws into the body have these.....screw housing/locking things installed into the body. Do I need to remove these somehow from the old body? If so...how? And do I just glue them into place on the new body?

Kinda confused here and I really don't want to take this to a luthier and have them do it....

Thanks!

You dont glue the studs in but pound them in. The stud are made for that. You can buy them just a few bucks.

Oh, okay. I assume there is like a normal size fits all somewhere? lol.

I've been googling around trying to find these studs and anchors and cannot find anything....

Bump. Anyone know where to buy the studs? Or do I have to destroy the old body to get them out?

Id try this trick for removing the stud mounts. It's worked for tune o matic and floyd studs for me in the past.
