another question, where can I get the washers and nuts on the input jacks?  I had to use two on the LPG or the jack stuck out WAY too far?

I just cut a piece of scrap for a platform for the bridge to sit on.

I use washers from home depot all the time. Some volume controls end up with several washer on them to keep them from sticking up too high.

Regarding the bridge being too low - in the photo it can still be adjusted to a higher level using the two grub screws on each of the metal saddle pieces (they often come with a small L shaped hex key to do this). That is one of the benefits of a bridge of this type. Also once in place and strung up you can use the screw at the tail end (the one passing through a spring and screwing into the saddle block) on each string to adjust intonation.

yes, I pulled a string down and with them adjusted all the way up it gets barely high enough.  I figure if I shim it up about an eighth it will give me some adjustment.
