I believe the top edge of the popsicle brace is 54 mm from the top edge of the guitar, UTB is 84.1 mm down etc.

So what would the minimum thickness be on a bridge plate for a parlour ? I read that keeping it smaller is better for sound so whats the minimum thickness I could use with losing strength?
Once again theres nothing about this on the plan I am using . Sorry for all the questions. I'm beginning to feel guilty about asking so much but I have no options when lmi will not send out instructions with their kits.
