Got it. Well the bridge is staying in the same position then. Thanks for the info. Much appreciated.

Changing the bridge position.

Just one more thought to help you along. Before you pull off the existing bridge, put masking tape on both sides of it on the body equally measured so you will always have an accurate placement for the new one. That way it will be centered with the neck. You don't want strings to be to one side or the other of center.
Also, before you remove the bridge, mark on the masking tape just where the saddles are right now.
Then all you will need to do is make sure the new one is placed between the tapes and the marks will show you the correct location for the saddles. Keep in mind some saddles are adjusted long and some short. Measure for that.
And the number one rule in any woodworking is:
MEASURE TWICE; CUT ONCE!

You can put the bridge wherever you want.....
