1. Make sure new bridge matches old WRT saddle location so intonation remains OK (assuming it was previously). Measure to check.

2. Clean exact bridge footprint on top with straight-edged razor blade or equivalent. Repair any damage from old bridge removal.

3. Now is time to reduce belly. Read "belly reducer" instructions and make your own plates: https://proluthiertools.com/product/belly-reducer/

4. Make sure new bridge matches top surface closely. Some sources say perfect match not required.

5. Glue and clamp.
