What is considered to be the procedure for setting up the thru the back bridge adjustment and how it relates to the two hight adjustments on the top?

Hi Mike,
I'm not an expert in this area, but the only thing I did on mine was use the two top adjustment screws to set the action wher I liked it wrt the neck angle. There's probably a more scientific approach, but through trial and error I was able to dial it in just where I wanted it. You need to make sure the neck is straight as well. The last thing I did after getting the action set was to adjust the pickup heights.

I use the two top screws to set the action, then use the rear screw/nut to get the bottom plate of the bridge parallel to the strings. If you get it too far away from parallel it will change the radius formed by the bridge saddles.

Before threading the string through the bridge, put a bend in the string about one inch from the end. It will feed in easier. (That's the end opposite of the ball).
