well, if it is not a lot of trouble, could you tell me which side of my bridge needs to face the Low E?
I've had the bridge off for about two months. I can't remember which way it goes on now.

Re: Repairs to my Mos roller Bridge. Advice please.
I am totally confused as well. I would love to see a picture of how the bridge is supposed to be laid out. I'd like to put it on my website as a correct reference. Can someone supply a good sharp hi-res image?

Normally, the acorn nuts should be on the pickup side ... although some have turned them backwards, this is incorrect, as it is near impossible to make any adjustments with the screw heads on the pickup side.

Well, fishyfish235 already supplied the pic, and it shows exactly what GattonFan (Dennis)
had mentioned; in which the acorn nuts are facing towards the bridge pick-up............

Hi
the shortest post is for the top e string ... they look in the right order to me from your photo. What a nightmare though .. hehe .. two distinct types of roller ... and let's not start on those darn acorn nuts .. I notice a few not tightened up in fishyfishes photo. Just a tad overcomplicated methinks.
Changing the intonation on this puppy is a once-only job .. you say to yourself... as you fiddle with the needle nose pliers for the hundredth time

I just checked my Joe Maphis Mosrite and 2 of my other Mosrite guitars and your bridge is correct in the roller placement. I would not change them if I were you. Good Luck!!!
