Mounting Hipshot Style A bridge

Did a search, but didn't find what I was looking for.

Just got my Hipshot A today. Before I start digging in, I wanted to find out of there are any bits of information I would need to know prior to mounting it up. Things like the center of the bridge is a little offset or anything like that? I've not whipped out a machinests ruler or anything, but it looks like the center of the hipshot is not offset.

Also, I see that there is plenty of room for setting the intonation. But, would be curious to know if there is any bits of information about placement that I should be aware of.

I'd hate to mount this only to realize I messed up and have to drill new holes...


Anyway, thanks for any info.


Oh yeah... My Seymour Duncan Qtr Pounder came in today too. :p
 
Eh.. It was easy enough. Got it in place. Only thing I'd have done a little different is to move it forward about 1/8th an inch to give me more room for setting intonation. Other than that, it's perfectly aligned.
