Eastman 305 Bridge Question
I received as a gift from a member of the forum an Eastman 305 mandolin. As I saw that the bridge came in a rather strange position, I decided after changing the strings for new ones to reposition the bridge according to all the rules I know, it is not my first mandolin , I have some experience.
After a long time and a lot of damaged strings, I had not managed to get a perfect intonation. I use an electronic tuner. There were always problems ... in order not to lengthen the story, I decided to move the bridge to the original position, and finally achieve a correct intonation.
The question is the following: as seen in the photo, is that position correct, or does the bridge have a problem? even on my cheap Chinese mandolins the bridge has always been perpendicular to the fretboard.
Thanks in advance to those who wish to give an opinion ...
