I've never restrung a gibson-type guitar before. I'm used to the fender-through-the-body way. I have a Dean that I'm restringing and I was pretty sure I had it figured out. After I removed my old strings, I took the opportunity to clean the hell out of it. However in doing so, the bridge and the metal part that the strings were attached to fell-off, now I think I'm in trouble. I was very perplexed because my string was right on the pickups, then I started to fiddle with the bridge again to lift the strings up off the pickups. I'm wondering how precise it has to be? Meaning that the bridge, should be perfectly parallel with the body of the guitar. I looked up some information about my style of bridge, and found out that I may have possibly thrown the intonation of my guitar out of whack during this whole ordeal. What exactly is intonation? How will I know if mine is messed up? How do I fix it if it is? Did I fubar anything, or am I just making a mountain out of a mole hill. Please help!!
