Setting the string spacing at the bridge

The string spacing on this old Gibson is uneven. Dan Erlewine shows how he made the E-to-E string spacing wider, then located the other four strings with proportional spacing, not equal spacing.

About the guitar in this video: This 1949 Gibson L-48 belongs to the original owner! He’s now in his 80s, and asked Dan to fix it because he’s going to take guitar lessons. :-)
