Ridiculous 8 string bridge problem (Jackson HT8)

Detune by 2 whole steps, and use the frustration to fuel the most angry riffs you'll ever write.

But what tf do I know. I play big guitar.

Your metal/machinist contact is the best bet. That guitar is gorgeous btw

Looks like your only option is getting material taken off the bridge bottom. But honestly, it looks like you lost your game of Indonesian factory QC roulette.

The proper way to fix this would be to countersink the bridge itself. You could file the saddles themselves down, but if not done properly with respect to engagement surfaces you'd be trashing the part.

Yep. It's my own dumbass fault too, I could've easily returned this guitar. But it was a long time ago and back then I didn't care about any of this stuff, I just wanted to play the guitar

We all learn somewhere, sometime.
